Just imagine what a dam beavers could build if they had tools like this.

@michal1dlouhy My point in this whole conversation is to value nature, look at the value of beaver, understand it.Use the same moral principles that you use in interaction with other people to deal with land or animals.I think it is not your fault that you do not see it in a similar way as I do.You were raised in a society that does not value it much.In school you were probably lead to becoming successful in your life, not to learning basic things about living in a harmony with man, animals etc.

@madmatt784 thx for your response. You mentioned land which is yours, therefore you can do anything on it or with it. Well, what if I tell you, that not just your land but even your own body is property of Nature? You are son of nature, that thinks he owns it. Why that land does not belong to beavers at the first place? Beavers probably owned it even before man started to think about concept of owning lol. I do not act according to false misconception of owning things. I just live here.

@madmatt784 Spinning this further you use Indians to promote your point. That proves that your point is desperate. Beavers are very destructive. Period. If you knew anything about forestry management you would know this All the food you eat. Every chair you sit on. toilet paper, food, sheets, blankets, house all came from somewhere. The path you are traveling is illogical and unfortanatly wrong.

But hey. America is large enough to support your missgiven Ideas.

People do not have to understand some asshole who thinks he can tell others what to do with his land. Micheal wants to tell us what to do with our own land. How fucked up is that. he offers no disucusion. Just Bullshit that beavers are sacered. Let me tell you something Mike .. You are a spin doctor that beleives you know best. You do not. You do not own any land and probably have never had job that produced anything.. Not even food.

@michal1dlouhy But people with their inteligence will not let nature do this. They found way how to make nature their slave. So, destroying beaver dam is only one example of how people fulfil their plans, it is only one example of their ignorant approach. Well, of course, if you or someone else think, that total destruction of environment is inavoidable and needed, lets do so. Lets tear stratosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere apart. I am not fan of this approach that humankind choosed. Are u?

@madmatt784 No problem, we can discuss it here. So, I am not saying, that human beings are not part of nature. If monkeys were in charge of the planet, or any other animal, would they stop doing what is natural for them to do? I do not think so. If it was natural for them to destroy all beaver dams on Earth, then all of them will be destroyed. However, the problem is somewhere else. When nature was in charge, she allways found a solution how to balance things that got unbalanced.

@michal1dlouhy I am readu to say that the world is a planet that is inhabited by different plants and animals. Who knows if the world is better off with less or more beaver dams. That tractor is a force of nature. Hey there are more tree in North America than ever before. We are part of nature you tree hugin nut sucker!

I can think of hundreds of thousands of reasons to bust up a beaver dam. I am giong fishing then, later I am going to eat the venicin I shot last year. YUM

damn that looked like a good place to fish

@madmatt784 You seem not to understand, that for even small mammal running 100meters in several days to save his life from evil beaver flood is no problem at all. There is no valid excuse for destroying such an amazing environment as beaver dam is. Ok, lets blame money. But are you ready to blame it? Are you ready to say, that man is not responsible for his actions or that you will regret using money? If not, the only ignorance here is your absence of will to understand this.

mankind will end up destroying itself and the world will just keep living. our intelligence is our biggest weakness sadly =/
