See what happens when you walk up to a beaver that hasn't been ID
tagged with the Conservation Department?

Ban beavers!

I wish someone would trap/dispose of the beavers at our local golf course. The damn things are
taking down *lots* of trees. That wouldn't be so bad if they took down the *right* trees, but they
don't seem to pay attention to the trees we keep hitting.

Dam beavers!

So you have the right to live and they don't?

Maybe golf somewhere else and leave them alone.

Liberal-socialism is a great idea so long as the credit is good and
other people pay for it. When the credit runs out and those that pay
for it leave, they can all share having nothing but debt and discontentment.

The trees have rights too, you know.

No one said the poor beavers had to be killed. They need to be trapped and disposed in a more
suitable place. We've got lots of streams, creeks, and ponds or lakes around here. Hell, they
wouldn't even have to leave the county!

Save a tree, eat a beaver.

And you wonder why I think it's a good idea to save the environment.....

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.

That's not true. We've seen beavers in the creekbed behind our house. It
most definitely is not a golf course. One of the problems is that more
and more "critter habitat" is being chopped down and clear cut, and the
critters simply have nowhere to go.

I'd rather see an untouched wooded area than another area mowed down for
another golf course or shopping center.

I can't believe a PROGRESSIVE said that.

You are out in the boonies, compared to areas closer to DC.

If you really want to preserve beaver habitat, spend some money, buy
that land and set it aside for preservation.
Why are you depending on sportsmen to do it and then demean the sport
that drives them to set aside that land?
Ducks Unlimited and the other hunting organizations have protected
more wet land than EPA, PETA and the humane society combined and they
did it without stealing property from it's owner.
Golf courses may represent the only real green space in a lot of
suburban areas. Most people do everything they can to discourage
wildlife in their own neighborhoods and then they put a PETA sticker
on their car and tell other people what they have to do on their
property.


I'm not *depending* upon self-described "sportsmen" to do anything other
than slaughter defenseless animals. You don't really think Ducks
Unlimited, et al, are interested in anything more than ways to provide
more critters to shoot. It isn't altruism. I appreciated the land
set-asides, but I know what is behind them.

I think if you have a golf course, you should be willing to share it
with whatever wildlife manages to hang on there by its fingernails.
