These snowmobilers are absolute morons and the town board is filled with dipshits. BUT!!!.....

We killed and scared off all of the beavers natural predators to move in a build our homes around the pond, so human management of the beavers is necessary. "Leave the beavers" alone is not an option, because we didn't leave the bears, wolf, coyote, foxes, snakes, birds of prey alone a century or more ago to manage the beavers themselves. They should have consulted with the State Fish and Wildlife department and requested help to manage the situation for the best of the ecosystem.

I blame the town for this...

Slight correction, coyotes didn't come to New England until roughly a century ago, when wolves were killed off.

Pretty sure they did consult with f&g before doing anything

How are you sure? Would be nice to see the Fish and Game response.

The club said they did, I have no reason to believe otherwise. They did share a name or 2 somewhere of the people they were in contact with but I don't feel like digging for it
