Beavers: is there nothing they can’t do?

There are two beavers and they both walk into their lodge one leaves the door open and the other one says shut the dam door.

Needs to be removed. I am sure no EIR was filed prior to construction.

“Their dams are also good because they slow the flow of water leading to less drought and less flooding.”

I have to disagree on the less flooding,they have dammed a creek near my land and caused the creek to backup and flood my pines.Now they have started cutting the pines. Every year we have break the dam and they always build back. I don't like these critters much.

Ya hafta figure they would have built where there was some water.

This isn't so amazing anymore. Everything can be seen from space now, including the beavers.

[Frantzie]

They are incredible animals. The dens they build are amazing.

There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people
who “love Nature” while deploring the “artificialities”
with which “Man has spoiled ‘Nature.’ “
The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words,
which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part
of “Nature”, but beavers and their dams are.
But the contradictions go deeper than this prima-facie
absurdity.
In declaring his love for a beaver dam (erected by beavers
for beavers’ purposes) and his hatred for dams erected by
men (for the purposes of men) the “Naturist” reveals his
hatred for his own race, i.e. his own self-hatred.
In the case,of “Naturists” such self-hatred is
understandable; they are such a sorry lot.
But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them;
pity and contempt are the most they rate.
As for me, willy-nilly I am a man, not a beaver, and H.
sapiens is the only race I have or can have.
Fortunately for me, I like being part of a race made up
of men and women, it strikes me as a fine arrangement
and perfectly “natural.”
