Crews try to oust persistent beaver
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. – A road crew has had it with a beaver that persists in building a dam under a bridge.

Since August, crews have removed a beaver dam three times near Port Orchard, on the west side of Puget Sound. One was as large as 40 feet long and 3 feet high.

Kitsap County Roads Superintendent Jacques Dean told KOMO-TV that he appreciated how industrious the animals are, but the water threatened to undermine bridge abutments.

The county decided to spend $15,000 to hire a beaver trapper.

I heard they were going to dispatch the beaver with a .22LR.  But, after almost two years of being unable to find any .22LR ammunition they chose to hire the trapper instead

I bet the job did go to Federal trappers who aren't legally allowed to compete with us. Hmmm.  I wonder how anyone could quote $15,000 for the job with a straight face but if you can get it ...

Right there is the Animal Rights bass ackwards way of thinking.  Lets see, outlaw trapping and now we are going to pay someone $15,000 to do a job a trapper would not only do for free, but willing to pay the license fee to do it.
