losing one calf is a big part of my profit disappearing, unlike other farmers, i dont have 100's of animals, due to animals such as beavers & coyotes i lost 3 calves last year and ended up barely breaking even. shooting it is addressing the problem by eliminating it. around my property there is hundreds of acres of protected wildlife habitat there is no shortage of beavers in the area, me shooting 5 a year isnt causing their extinction, i am just preventing them from expanding onto my property.

Hillbillyboy:Say you lost "a calf" to a beaver damn. But so what? How many farmers in Europe lost ALL their stock to Mad Cow Disease? As far as running away from your problem and not addressing it. Seems to me that's what you're doing by shooting it. I just asked you if there wasn't an alternative solution. I mean you're on its land, not the other way around.

Hillbillyboy:"I would sooner end my own life than move into the city."You decide, it's another option. Just didn't want to be the first to mention it. I live in Europe, where there isn't a lot of good nature left. It was basically killed off because farmers had your attitude - gets in the way, just shoot it. Animals like beavers were killed off completely in some areas, and although they've been re-introduced to some places, you've got to go out of your way to see it.

wow, that is one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. You are basically saying, if you have a problem, do not address it, run away from it. Beavers flood my crop fields and pastures, the water they back up has caused ruined crops and i have had a calf drown in the backed up water. I would sooner end my own life than move into the city. almost every farmer i know has beaver problems. if they did what you suggest, then there would be no farmers left. |
