>>1425741Ah so you're yet another cunt talking up a pest that isn't nearly as big an issue in his area. Beavers are a much bigger problem in places that have lots of swamp/rivers/lakes and relatively flat land where they can breed out of . Before you assume I'm American and get all faggoty just zoom in on a satellite view of the backcountry of Ontario or Quebec to get an idea of what somewhere with lots of lakes/rivers actually looks like. Western lakes and rivers are tucked into valleys as a result of your soft, soft soil and beavers have to get drastically overpopulated to mess with them.
>not to mention the ecosystems they create are some of the richest on earth. very fertile.They create swaths of dead standing timber over marsh, just in case someone was imagining some beautification process based on your implication.
Almost nobody wantonly slaughters animals in this day and age. Fuckwits like you just imagine it that way. There's the family of beavers that maintain a weir that regulates the lake by my cottage and then there's all their offshoots that have grown up in the relatively predator-free environment of cottage country that get shot before they can turn every single stream into a swamp.
