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. Salmonbait I guess my question would be... were the beavers in the area before the golf course was built?? Well, bears probably roamed your neighborhood before it became your neighborhood. Would they be welcome now? Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling' - the liberals' last stand. |

I guess my question would be... were the beavers in the area before the golf course was built?? I lived right across the river from there for 38 years and I never heard about beavers anywhere near DC. The first beaver I ever saw was in upstate New York. We had them around Ft Belvior. Huntly Meadows Park had several. Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge had several and they even had an eagle population in the 70's. The eagles are back at Mason Neck. We saw one 'fishing' in the Pohick Bay when we were camping there weekend before last. Beautiful sight, but the eagle didn't get the fish. Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling' - the liberals' last stand. |
