Save it from what?



The animals of the earth have been using the enviornment for their benefit for millions and

millions of years.



I think it is ironic that the only habitat that seems to be available

for these animals is the golf course, perhaps the most unnatural plot

of land you can have.

Why don't these wild life lovers get up off their wallets and buy land

for wildlife preservation? If the golfers were not there, this would

just be part of the concrete jungle and the beavers would die.

I see these PETA and humane society weasels bitching about hunters but

hunters do far more to protect natural wildlife populations, preserve

habitat and actually set aside land than all the Volvo driving bark

eaters combined.



Maybe the armchair environmentalists should look at what we are doing

in Southwest Florida. The voters decided to create funds to buy up

habitat and put it in preservation., This wasn't a unilateral decision

by government or a "taking" of private property, it was a referendum

that created a dedicated taxing district for the purpose. Properties

are bought at market price, not stolen in eminent domain robberies.



There *is* a perfect habitat for the suckers, damn near across the street.



Put 'Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, VA' into Mapquest. Look just north - that's the golf course.

The park has all kinds of trees and water. But, the folks are not allowed to trap the beaver.



Stupid.

I guess my question would be... were the beavers in the area before the golf course was built??
