I suppose a beaver pond is nice if you want a beaver pond. Not so nice if you already have a pond or waterway, or like your trees. Best of luck with the wolves, they'll love your cows.

Great - instead of people poaching the King’s deer, we’ll have to hear news items about people harassing the Queen’s beaver.

The strategy of returning apex predators clearly has to be very carefully assessed.

I guess tigers are right out.

Wild boar, lynxes, and wolves.

Rural landowners will be overjoyed.

We have more beaver than we really want.

Imagine one day you are admiring a beautiful, perfectly healthy large tree on your property, and the next day it’s laying down from a beaver chew.

Imagine you have a great meadow for your cows to graze, or simply a nice lawn, and it soon floods due to a dam.

Imagine beavers build a dam, and everyone is just happy as clams about it, until that dam breaks and floods the lower lands.

Imagine the same protected beaver plugging culverts that cause roads to erode out from water running over them instead of through the culverts.

And worst yet, imagine the lefties making these pests an endangered species so you can’t do a thing about it.

For those of you still in free states, body traps work best.

While deer hunting on Admiralty Island in SE Alaska, I came across a massive beaver dam - it was easily 100 feet across and loaded with literally tons of small logs and sticks. The lake behind it was at least 5 acres with a few sockeye salmon in spawning mode, finning and laying eggs. It was a beautiful thing to see.

How about recreating Mt. Vesuvius, asteroids from outer space, the breaking away of the continent of Australia, and the ice-age glaciers covering North America to southern Indiana? I don;t want Jurassic Park though.

I’d suggest they skip wolves and wild boars.

But tastes vary.

So why were bison mentioned?

They’re not native to the UK.

The North American Lion vanished about 10,000 years ago, can we bring it back too?

Don't forget to send them some Canadian timberwolves. 😉

Also Dire Wolves and Woolly Rinos, Short Faced Bears, and the old stands by Woolly Mammoths and Mastodons, throw in a few Giant Sloths and the odd Smilodon

My wife and I just made some killer bison spaghetti sauce the other night. The bell peppers were picked right from the patio pots.
