Illegal, Buck-Toothed Loggers Busted by Environmentalists

Looks like they may have violated some wetlands regulations, too.

I've read somewhere that after humans beavers are the animal that has the greatest impact on its environment. In some areas they are even considered pests. Ever seen a full grown one, they are pretty big, surprisingly.

Looking at the turnk of that tree, I can only conclude that the logging was carried out by my first girlfriend.

I say if the beavers continue to be so unruly, shaving should be on the table as an option.

"There's nothing more natural than a beaver." I guess the word doesn't have the same double meaning in Polish that it has in Amurrican.

They are pests - I'd like to stick it to those shaved beavers.

Your girlfriend had a huge beaver?

This reminds me of the scene from Naked Gun where Drebin says "nice beaver" to Presley.

Beavers are big rodents, second only to the capybara.

joe's first girlfirend may claim the biggest rodent title, but we need to see how she stacks up to a capybara.

Joe's first girlfriend had huge front teeth and a thick pelt?

Nothing yet about Governor Blago getting a prison cell next to George Ryan? I'm disappointed.

No, too little.

If she knew what she was doing, I wouldn't empathize with that tree.

joe saying she liked to gnaw on his wood. Duh.

Actually he was saying she had a propensity to use the teeth, for which I offer my condolences to joe, but that trauma is past. Just use alcohol and someone who is good at it to block out the terrible memories, joe.

A police spokesman said: "The campaigners are feeling pretty stupid. There's nothing more natural than a beaver."

Stupid Green Polacks. There has to be an offensive joke in there somewhere.

They should arrest the Oregon State football team.

KILL IT WITH FIRE

The campaigners are feeling pretty stupid. There's nothing more natural than a beaver.

Amen brotha!

I feel compelled to link to the video for Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus.

I like how when a remote road gets washed out in Washington due to a storm, that's considered 'environmental damage'.

After that performance against Oregon they should at least arrest the defense. The Beavers got Ducked... hard.

When I initially read the headlines, I assumed it meant some backwoods hicks in Appalachia were caught gathering firewood illegally.
But then I thought that they should probably still be considered protected wildlife.
