Beavers Scotland

[Borr 4,474]

Heard on radio this morning, over a thousand in Scotland spread over 250 sites, I didn't know there was anywhere near that number... Just changed legislation to make it harder to get a licence to cull..anyone have problems with them?

Have found similar on the Cotswolds, mate has a photo of one sat behind his  bivvy when he was fishing up there a few years back, I know were they came from but the authority’s seem happy for them to be released anywhere without any consequence,

Seen signs of them all over the Tay system.., and a few other places. Think if estates etc. have problems with them, they’d could be dealt with pretty easily and discreetly. They’re not going anywhere soon though, and I think will become far more numerous without control soon.

Not now, she chucked it for a seat in the other house. The new tory leader is a fanny though, which is the same thing. He might be able to weigh in, especially if the beavers are offside.

At the end of the day it’s a big rodent, and one thing they all seem to be good at is procreation
