Beaver OK for Lent

[Humptulips]

You probably did not know beaver is a fish. Apparently so are muskrat.

“In respect of its tail, it is altogether a fish, having been juridically declared such by the faculty of medicine of Paris, in consequence of which declaration, the faculty of theology have decided that it might be lawfully eaten on meagre days.” – Fr. Pierre François Xavier de Charlevoix, S.J., Histoire et description générale de la Nouvelle France, Volume III, 1744.
