The Chicago Tribune has morphed from a very conservative voice to becoming the Midwest branch of the Deep State propaganda machine. Any article out of this source is full of lies. That Yahoo posted thus story means it has received the leftist seal of approval.

It’s amazing just how many needs an “education.” Articles like this make me want to scream, not at the sky, rather scream in the face of the idiot. Beaver dams & ponds can quickly destroy a habitat much more than saving anything.

It all depends on where the beavers set up shop.

Beavers can be your greatest asset of your most miserable pest.

It is not always good.

Argentina brought beavers to Tierra del Fuego. It was not a good idea.

That’s ALWAYS the funniest comment in any FR “beaver” article.

I hope this documentary about an actual town in Austria never makes it to FR. (The name of the town was changed in 2021.) Caution, really graphic profanity.

I'm sure you were taught as a child: It's damns that are bad.

If you get really mad, you can always say "darn!"
