Kill All the Beavers
An HOA left plenty of nature-loving North Carolina homeowners in disbelief over its decision to trap and kill up to three dozen beavers who’d taken up residence on a neighborhood creek. The problem? Beaver dams were causing water levels to rise, threatening the community’s boardwalks and bridges. Pleas to simply relocate the beavers fell on deaf ears because the state deemed them a “nuisance animal” legal to kill, but not to move.
