In a statement obtained by the CBC, a spokesperson for Telus said, "Our team located a nearby dam, and it appears the beavers dug underground alongside the creek to reach our cable, which is buried about three feet underground and protected by a 4.5-inch thick conduit. The beavers first chewed through the conduit before chewing through the cable in multiple locations."
When the repair crews went to investigate, they found damage to more sections of the cable, the New York Post reports. Apparently, multiple beavers had dug underground alongside a creek in order to reach the cables.

Must be why they are wrecking the phone and internet service. Retaliation.

Beaver Lives Matter Located at the lip of Wood Buffalo National Park in Alberta, Canada, the world's largest beaver dam is at least 2790 feet long. I'll bet their leaders live in Beaver mansions.
