Not at all!
And IMHO people doing this reintroduction should also pay for all the damages on trees, watering-systems and so on that these 'lovely' creatures are causing. But the green people like the grounds to become wet and no longer suitable for farming so that they can buy them cheap using taxpayer's money...
These beavers appear at the strangest places. We have a small river here in the neighbourhood and when it's cleaned and all dams removed, these dams reappear at the same spots within 2 weeks, even when no beavers available... they even use concrete piles... I think those beavers have a special engineering degree in building...
Beavers are protected by the law, so I have to be very careful what I say, but I've heard that they are rather tasteful... but that's hear-saying...
What worries me more is this group "Welcome wolves"... they even know all the wolves by name... recently "August" was killed in a car-accident and as result his wife "Nadia" is having great problems with their "children"... but IMHO they opened a "Wolf-Mc-Donalds" close to the nest, because very strange: less sheep and livestock are damaged since August died...
BTW, Welcome-Wolves is saying they are going to sue the government because they still didn't make a save crossing for wolves on that spot where August tried to fight a car...
It's rather strange that wolves can make such a trip from Poland or the Northern Germany, crossing many roads, canals and rivers (including the Rhine and the Meuse/Maas!) and then die on a stupid country road in Belgium... maybe they use wheels for their long trip?
some people - mainly hunters - are talking to start a group "Welcom bears". It's a logical step as lynx are also already coming... and it started many years ago with martens and foxes... and severe hunting-laws... You understand what happened with all our small game?
Soon our children and animals need a cage when they go for a walk...
SJ, you now see what you started?
