I hope they are not illegal beavers...



In Detroit they have been celebrating because for the first time in 75 years a beaver was spotted near the Detroit River, it's actually made the news all over, even national news. This beaver spotting took place in November according to the Detroit Free Press but was not reported then, supposedly to make sure the beaver was safe.

Which of course leads to questions, was he moved into some type of beaver protection program? If beavers were gone from the area for almost 75 years, where did he come from? Is he an illegal beaver? A terrorist beaver? A Toledo area beaver leaving the area because of the economy? (Wait, Michigan's economy is as bad as ours)...

Will more beavers follow? Is the water intake harmed? Will we now see a few years from now reports that there is a huge beaver problem impacting the water supply for Detroit? (See the is it a terrorist beaver question)...

Very funny. Cute animal. But you're right, we have to keep vigilant of these illegals.

That is good, but I betcha that many reports ask some of those questions and were serious. One of the thousands of reasons I don't watch TV news. Yuck!

Maybe the guy who shot the deer in Sidecut Park can make quick work of this illegal. I hear beaver tail is good eating.
