And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Kinda an unfair picture. The barren land poses quite the contrast to the lush greenery. But I reckon the beavers favor more flourishing landscapes with plenty of water. In that case, a beaver dam could spell trouble.
The taste of beaver varies basked on location. In the wild, when I'm alone it can taste damned good. In an urban area, it can have a slight fishy taste.
I read in some book that many human settlements were made adjacent to beaver dams which in time crumbled and failed. The dam flooding killed many trees which created clearings. Water drained away - cleaned land. Helped people settle down.
Love beaver dams, get the best brook trout fishing for a few years, caught some true lunkers that way, they are always very dark skinned with bright speckles, glow in the dark orange fins with delicious orange meat in them. Both sides of the dams produce really nice trout environments.
I think that it was in Yellowstone that they reintroduced the beavers and lo and behold, the river willows started to grow, and the deer and elk flourished with the new browse.
Beavers...creating wetlands; let the jokes commence.

ReplyDeleteHowever, their dams kill trout streams by making them warmer.
