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.

What's the difference between a bison and a buffalo?

You can't wash your hands in a buffalo!

Squirrels are the true enemy. Rats with furry tails, just to persuade people they are cute.

RATS! RATS I TELL YOU!!!!!

Amazing news for you - you have free will! Don’t read things you don’t want to, go and be free! Like a released beaver…

I've heard it all now. We can't let our kids play out in case they get attacked by a beaver 😁.

Don't move to the Highlands OP, those wretched sea eagles will swoop down and fly off with your kids.

The clue is in the phrase, re-introduced. We had beavers in this country until re-coursing of rivers/streams and destruction of their habitat allmost wiped them out.
Beavers were a big part of thexLion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Do you think CS Lewis made their prescence in the UK up?
And your assertion that kids havexa fear of playing outsidexand are further at risk from attacking beavers... they are highly private creatures, so the chances of a scardy-cat seeing one ifcas rare as hen's teeth

This is the best thread I've read for a while. I love the idea of beavers having a hidden agenda and are coming back for vengeance after we almost hunted them to extinction. If that is there plan I'm 100% team beaver and welcome our fuzzy overlords

@ItShouldntHappenToMeYet - don't remind the OP of Lion/Witch/Wardrobe! @LemaLemons worst nightmare come true: talking beavers that actually could sit down and make their demands known.😆

Are you feeling quite well?

David Archer is that you?

Wes Anderson's latest film Attack of the killer beavers.
'Armed with chainsaws and a sense of their own importance, a group of recently re-introduced beavers turn feral after being bitten by something terrifying 'outside' and vow to attack humans and re-route rivers. Be afraid, very afraid.
Even Putin is petrified of Beavers (citation needed...)

I was just about to say this.

Evil little fuckers

You seem to be confusing beavers with highly educated historians who bear grudges and crave power. They do not have intentions and are not conscious of their history in the UK, they are just beavers who will do beaver things because that is what beavers do.

The Wikipedia page you linked to references a handful of attacks mostly by rabid beavers. Rabies is extinct in the UK.

Beavers are not setting out to kill our children and take our land in revenge for past injustices against beaver-kind.

Anecdotal, but there are lots of beavers in my state, we've seen them countless times, and we've never experienced any kind of violence.

It was bison, not buffalo, that were released near me in 2022 and apparently the OP was posting moaning about it then.

I can confirm there have been no ill effects whatsoever. We now have two baby bison in the herd

What out for the squirrels and magpies OP, they're violent too 😂

Who on earth is 'working' ith beavers. Bet those bastards take loads of sick days and keep gnawing through your desk's legs

😂😂

Beavers have been living wild in Kent since the 1960s. Imo this explains a lot.

This has to be a windup 😂 thanks for the entertainment op!

I'm also an ecologist and delighted that this is happening, go team beaver!

I thought this was going to be about Brazilian waxing going out of fashion.

I think they might be out to exact revenge for the earlier extinction

Has to be the same person. And she did a similar thing the week before that about beavers as well.

Oh please, no! There's a massive thread from a woman who doesn't want her DH to wear lynx, but cologne, and goes aftershave shopping with her son!!

I wish my other half showed as keen an interest in beaver as the OP 😭

We have beavers in London. I’ve heard on good authority they are in league with the feral ring neck parakeets. Sadiq Khan better watch out… that’s all I am prepared to say…
