Who Wants To Kill Some Beavers?

The Town of Woodbury received a permit from the DEC to use lethal force against local wildlife.

I know this is not the case. But.

If you told me that a Town Board in upstate New York was given permission to use firearms on small woodland creatures, the first thing that’d come to my mind is blood thirsty Town Board members. All running through the woods, drunk, and shooting everything that moves.

People included.

Again. That is NOT what’s happening in the Town of Woodbury.

But it sure is funny to imagine.

Not so funny though, if you’re a beaver.

So, what gives?
