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

Oh no
Those will be the vampire/werewolf hybrid

No one will be safe

Can't stop laughing at this thread!

The OP is clearly nuts!

OP

I hear they are giving them all flick-knives

We should indeed. They are coming over on the Lupine Express. In a bunch.

I have never heard of a child being attacked by a beaver! happy to be proved wrong

I ate beaver in Riga, and while I agree it was tasty, the taste was absolutely rank. Possibly not helped by them serving it with pineapple salsa.

The bison are already here. Iirc the op was afraid of the Home Counties imminently becoming prairie or summat after reading about this.

Those of you who don’t work in healthcare, this is the closest thing to experiencing what people in the uk are like.

Nature sets the bar pretty low for existing. It’s happy if you’ve got a pulse. Everything else is a bonus.

They won't betray kids to the White Witch either, that's fauns.

You win the internet today.

God! That sounds beyond vile @GinToBegin

I work at Dover ferry port. We're pulling ten plus wolves out of the backs of lorries every day and the French won't take them back.

Won't someone think of the children?? Oh those aquatic devils with huge gnawing teeth and ability to control water.
They were part of the ecosystem until we removed them completely and no they aren't stalking the nations childrem

They mug you for your phone, they let down your car tyres, they play loud music at 3 am and they spray graffiti everywhere. Also, they are accomplished shoplifters.

Need garlic and silver NOW!!

I thought the reason beavers were eaten in pre-reformation times was because the Catholic Church decreed them to be fish and therefore allowed to be eaten on Fridays/Lent. Particularly their hairless fish-shaped tails. So, as we've just had pancake day, there’s todays dinner suggestion.

which is probably at least as bonkers as anything a troll can come up with but I didn’t make this up!

Or "Rats with good PR"! 😂

I'll lodge an appeal

This thread is hilarious, I am imagining a gang of beavers plotting to take over vast tranches of land by planning to build dams and flood the areas they want to rule. Maybe they are also designing a beaver flag so they can raise their standard as they slowly conquer our country. Bow down before the mighty beaves you peasants!

Yes, that's right.

They'd be able to chew through their muzzles too. Won't anyone think of the children?!!!!

Bad Mr Tumnus!

Biding their time, watching from inside their lodges and preparing to release tsunamis on the unsuspecting humans

Apparently a child in Pennsylvania was attacked by a rabid beaver in 2018.

A man in Belarus was killed by a beaver in 2013. Here an excerpt from the Guardian article:

The fisherman, who has not been named at the request of his family, was driving with friends toward the Shestakovskoye lake, west of the capital, Minsk, when he spotted the beaver along the side of the road and stopped the car. As he tried to grab the animal to have his picture taken, it bit him several times. One of the bites cut a major artery in his leg, according to Sulim.

Difficult to blame the beaver in that situation...

That's all I could find. 🤷‍♀️ In my state there is no record of any beaver attacks. There are roughly 30,000 beavers, though.
