Get your paws off my beaver - Senator Nicole Eaton YouTube

[FuzzyWuzzyAnipals]

I have never figured out why politicians want to change everything...especially things they know nothing about.

Humans cause far more damage than any animal. Humans also have the greed and arrogance to feel justified in ruining the environment.

Senator Eaton should be hanged for this treason. Get rid of the beaver? a hard working, determined, driven and creative creature? This senator has clearly shown it is time to abolish the senate and get rid of those overpaid bums.

What a politician. Pandering to the moneyed interests at the expense of the environment. Beavers are marvelous engineers that create priceless habitat.

With so little knowledge of beaver biology and the environment they restore I wonder why Senator Nicole Eaton was appointed in the first place and think she should consider her position in view of the damage she is causing to Canada's image with her ignorant diatribe.

Well done, excellent video - Ignorant politicians, in the pocket of the farming/landowner lobby, are a curse in the UK as much as Canada

Couldn't agree more!

I love Beaver.

check out this funny and informative youTube video

We Are The Beaver~The Arrogant Worms

If this "19th centuray has-been" politician has seen this video, she would realize how appropriate the Beaver is as a national icon.

Just like Mr Dangerfield said... No respect!

She claims that beavers are "dentaly defective rats" but her statement is a blatant ignorant lie. They are a prime examples of Natural Evolution, and the crucial role that many animals play in the ecological sustainment of the environment. Rats in city's live on our waste... Beavers don't... they build magnificient structures for their communities food & defensive needs. Beaver dams help clean water that so many other species need for survival, including us humans. Hands off my Beaver! ^^

Good luck with killing them all. They breed like crazy. Northern Ontario. Millions of them. Don't worry JCVdude.

It's a corny way she's going about it calling beavers toothy tyrants, but maybe, she's been convinced that letting the standing water flow is a means to cleanse the Fukushima nuke spew from the continent. I think they need to come up with a better plan than beaver eradication to clean the nuke debris.

Beavers are VERY important for people because they raise the WATER TABLE. That's the water that's deep in the soil under the land astride lakes and rivers. They help build the water table producing springs, which are generally drinkable water.

Killing beavers is a step toward eradicating humans.

Groundwater is about twenty percent of the world's fresh water supply, which is about 0.61% of the entire world's water, including oceans and permanent ice. Global groundwater storage is roughly equal to the total amount of freshwater stored in the snow and ice pack, including the north and south poles. This makes it an important resource which can act as a natural storage that can buffer against shortages of surface water, as in during times of drought.
