To want to understand why they are re-releasing Beavers?

beavers being rereleased in the uk - why? They are territorial animals and don’t really have a place in our carefully balanced ecosystem.

Perfect Andrew Tate deterrent- he ain’t ever coming back to a country over run with angry beavers 👍

You know how new estates are often named after the lovely bit of countryside they've concreted over? I had to bite my tongue when a friend sent their change of address to 'Watermeadow Close'... not sure they'd thought it through.

That is one of the funniest posts I have ever read on mumsnet… 🤣

I saw a sea eagle! Bad omen, I had to walk back to the car via a poorly signposted bog without gaiters. Clearly the fault of eagle hugging beaverists like yourself.

Am loving this thread 😂
Mumsnet at its wittiest best!!

There's a small estate near my mum that was basically built in an area with lots of ponds and the houses frequently get flooded/suffer from serious damp. The roads are called 'Mallard Close', 'Moorhen Close' etc etc. I am amazed that anyone ever buys houses there.

Fabulously prescient I expect.

Have been watching this thread and felt as a Beaver Leader that I should include this message from one of our Beavers who has just left us to move to Cubs 🦫 🦫 🦫

Oh, I was looking forward to their manifesto.

Ah, yes, starting in Great Yarmouth with the aim of then heading for the East Anglian wetlands, reversing the draining of the Fens and destroying the prosperity of Our Country.

What do you mean, that was Bulgarians, not Beavers? That’s what they want you to think.

As long as they don't expect the native apex predator fish of the Fens to tell them their name.

We've got wild boar on our land. And coypu. Best avoid Normandy, OP 😂

Are you proposing beavers live only in beaver ghettos away from towns? I feel that is problematic.

It appears OP has good reason to suspect beavers of making plans to assert dominion over the British landscape ...

Pike?
(Don’t tell them.)

It's too late, I read the OP and now I can't unread it! I didn't rtft but just the OP was enough!

No. As I said, it was just an aside. I don't think many people know that they are sometimes eating it. I don't think many people will want to know that they are eating it, either.

Aw I don't think OP is coming back 😔

Maybe she's gone "away for a little rest" again. Or has remembered to take her meds......

Probably just waiting for their turn to be 're-released'...

We actually have wild beavers that introduced themselves to our local river, haven't caused any flooding yet. I've only seen gnawed branches, very jealous of those who have seen baby beavers but I'm not up early enough for that!

😆

Yeah, I don't think she will be back on this thread. Shame because she was a good laugh tbh, and quite entertaining!

Yep, reminds me of MN a few years ago when humour was more prevalent.

There was a programme on about beavers in Yorkshire this afternoon. I hope you enjoyed it OP.
