mackem 23,680 Posted March 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I remember I have walked across a few dams and always marvelled at how solid they are. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazjon5 705 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 As mentioned they are very defensive in the spring when they have kits, and will come out of the water to engage dogs. My mate used to pull down the dams on his land with a couple of quads with winches, and a big grapple hook. Unless you put a f****n big hole in the dam, they can usually patch them in a night or 2, it's crazy how they can sort it with just sticks and mud. He started using tannerite, way easier and more fun.... they are pretty amazing, tough, animals, but a f****n nightmare with the damage they can do, and with no natural predators in the uk they are nuts to reintroduce them. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LlYYQz8vitg 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 9,172 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 They will come with the same protection as the badgers and theres nothing legally can be done with it, see the antis/left wingers have played a smart long game for they are now in the jobs that call the shots. And adding them to london water ways only completes a project where they even replaced the native population of humans with wild feral types too.

mackem 23,680 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I thought there seemed more around than normal.
