Posted by: Ghost of Ed at December 10, 2008 10:05 AMI wonder if the snitchers were the same lunatics that were shown wailing and gnashing their teeth in that video on your site a week or so ago. Probably not exactly the same ones, but had the same "mentality"....if we can call it that.
Posted by: John Luft at December 10, 2008 10:07 AMHope that logging company has a good dental plan...
Posted by: mecheng at December 10, 2008 10:14 AMHeadline "Environmental activists found to have lowest IQ among Humans"......trend still falling.

Posted by: the bear at December 10, 2008 10:17 AMWasn't there an old saying like eat an environmentalist save a beaver or something to that effect?
Posted by: Kelly at December 10, 2008 10:17 AMThese global Warmers/EnviroMENTALists will do anything to stop nature [in this case beavers], yet how do they attack beavers without looking like the LIEberal/Non Democradic/Bloc Party.
Two beavers moved into a new area sitting on a hill over looking a creek. One beaver said to another, "Dam it."
Posted by: Clown Party at December 10, 2008 10:21 AMAbsolutely unbelieveable!!
My five year olds would be able to tell you that a beaver did that.
How sheltered these people must be. What is the most disturbing is that the officials actually had to follow the drag marks to the beaver dam.
These are the people who presume to tell us how to manage the environment. You think to manage/preserve the environment, you would have to know a bit about it.
I will wait for the report of someone drilling little holes in birch trees to kill them.

"...and would not consider turning beaver to police where police will take beaver from beauty spot and make beaver goulash where all hair of beaver is first shaved completely then sausage is stuffed into beaver for many hours..."

Got this link over at Drudge. I like the increasing flow of scientists willing to speak out about this scam called global warming. Notice how as times get tougher for people the whole global warming priority slips out of view. It is only when people have nothing else to worry about (like a job, house, cash flow, car payments, food) do they search for something to concern themselves over (no matter how fictitious). Hope everyone is staying warm in Saskatoon today, she's a biting cold.
Posted by: SaskHab at December 10, 2008 10:46 AMI'd have just told them we'd make sure the loggers were dealt with, and give them a nice new fur hat for the tip.

Beavers have been extinct in Britain for a very long time. Maybe there's a good reason for that.

I was hungry. OK?
...and I was part of a Valley Forge reinactment group.
I was eyeing the eco-whackjob. But figured my digestive system would reject the tainted meat.

Especially when the eco-nuts start spiking the trees at knee-level. lol
Posted by: Jekyl at December 10, 2008 10:59 AMWhy do Polish Enviro-warriors names end in ski ?
Posted by: richfisher at December 10, 2008 10:59 AMWill the enviros track down the beavers and kill them while screaming, "Fur is murder!"?
Posted by: andycanuck at December 10, 2008 11:04 AMKudos to our national rodent.
Posted by: Free Thinker at December 10, 2008 11:07 AMShouldn't the first call be to the logger's union? The "dam" logging corporation probably made those poor loggers work evenings and weekends...
Posted by: duffman at December 10, 2008 11:09 AMSoon they will be going after the woodpeckers but I doubt the activists get up early enough to see them before the morning whizz.
Posted by: Larry Weber at December 10, 2008 11:24 AMOne look at the photo and you can immediately tell it was a beaver's work ... but these activist morons seem not to understand that beavers destroy trees !
Posted by: Brian at December 10, 2008 11:24 AMThere is no truth to the rumour that they arrested Ellie May.

Glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee!
Posted by: Edward Teach at December 10, 2008 11:48 AMYeah, Ghost of Ed, I was wondering if Lizzie was seen fleeing the scene of the crime.
Posted by: Soccermom at December 10, 2008 11:48 AMReminds me of that dam beaver letter that went around years ago.

Posted by: Justthinkin at December 10, 2008 12:11 PM"Beavers have been extinct in Britain for a very long time. Maybe there's a good reason for that."
Kind of proves that Canada's national rodent isn't that dumb after all. They didn't stick around to experience Tony Blair's Britian. (Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch, palace guards have faux bear fur hats and the only beaver to be seen is in Piccadilly...)
"Wasn't there an old saying like eat an environmentalist save a beaver or something to that effect?"
My variation:
Save the animals, eat a vegan.
ghost/mech
very funny!
I guess the left hate Bush and beaver. What a bunch of bati-boys.

BTW, my anti-virus software started going crazy after the Daily Express pop-up ad popped up.
Posted by: Mark Bourrie at December 10, 2008 1:24 PMYou folks read some of the comments on the referred site? Man, that's some funny stuff! ;-)

Officials state that the police are now on the lookout for beaver
Posted by: Erik Larsen at December 10, 2008 1:32 PMKelly:
I believe the expression was "Save a tree. Eat a beaver".
I had that on a tee-shirt when I was in high school. Then I guess my mother figured out what it meant and it mysteriously disappeared.
Posted by: rabbit at December 10, 2008 1:41 PMOk, hands up. Who here took one look at the picture and did NOT know that a beaver had caused the damage?
Posted by: AtlanticJim at December 10, 2008 2:02 PMOnly the Beaver eh?
Expect Lizzy May will be calling for a bounty on Beavers when she gets wind of this.
Posted by: Liz J at December 10, 2008 2:11 PMHuman beings are every bit as "natural" as beavers, and we cut down trees for similar reasons: we *use* them, just like the beavers.
The environmentalists have been getting away with this false "natural" = "not human" dichotomy for far too long.
Posted by: Ron Good at December 10, 2008 2:17 PMI don't know why this is so surprising. I mean, everyone knows beavers like wood.

That could wind up being very dangerous for Lizzy herself.
Looks like Lizzy Mae's toothpick to me.

Posted by: Shere Khan at December 10, 2008 3:00 PMThe stupid envirowhackos should have to pay the investigation bill. Most people know little about these idiotic groups that for the most part they are two or three miscreants that give themselves a self important name that conjures up a monolithic concrete building where actual work and studies are carried out. In nearly all cases of these nuts like the _________ institute and such there are usually two poofters in an apartment with one laptop, and the MSM run to them like they have something important to say. Is it any wonder the MSM is bankrupt!
Posted by: bartinsky at December 10, 2008 3:03 PMoverheard at crime scene: "how much vood, vould a voodchuck chuck? if a voodchuck could chuck vood?"
Posted by: rzr at December 10, 2008 3:06 PMRemember, if the environmentalists get a hold of woodchucks, they wont chuck any more wood, cause that would hurt the spirit of the wood. Wouldnt it?
(course if environmentalists stay out of the way and allow the woodchuck to continue chucking wood, the woodchuck can chuck 12 board feet per day)
Posted by: Irene Swain at December 10, 2008 3:12 PMthan cancucklehead comment was mine, as I have a fair bit of knowledge on this ancient ritual..
your welcome
Posted by: The Progressive Indian at December 10, 2008 3:28 PMFor those of you considering the beaver as a meal, just remember, during the lean winter months they tend to eat their own feces.
Yummy.
I'll just stick to making them into hats....
Posted by: Shere Khan at December 10, 2008 3:56 PM>Posted by: Lateral: "Wasn't there an old saying >like eat an environmentalist save a beaver or >something to that effect?"
I saw a truckers bumper sticker that read:
Its "Be kind to animals week. Kiss a beaver"
Need I elaborate? ;-)
Posted by: obamasucks at December 10, 2008 3:57 PMI am glad to learn that our national symbol is such a resolute opponent of the green movement.

They don't know how to spell toboggan
Posted by: bullwinkle at December 10, 2008 4:15 PMIt gets absurder and absurder.
""Eat a camel today".
They ain't no camels in Oz; they have roos, yes.
But, camels in Oz?
In toto, these wackos are wwwwwackos.
...-
"Eat camels to protect environment, Aussies told
Australians were urged Tuesday to eat camels to stop them wreaking environmental havoc, just months after being told to save the world from climate change by consuming kangaroos."
""Eat a camel today, I've done it," he told the national AAP news agency.
"It's beautiful meat. It's a bit like beef. It's as lean as lean, it's an excellent health food.""

maz2, hope yer tongue was firmly in cheek.
There are herds of camels still wandering the outback, left over from days when people thought them the ideal pack animal for the oz environment.
Owners on some stations cull these wild beauties as sport. Not worth the time to catch & domesticate.
Posted by: Alienated at December 10, 2008 7:23 PMSaskhab: good link. Thanks. Now will someone be alerting Elizabeth May and Obama both of whom continue to embrace the nuttiness. Obama's position on this is getting downright dangerous. A good take-down for him would be to get the word out on this, but don't expect MSM to be onside.

Who's BS?
Posted by: maz2 at December 10, 2008 8:24 PM"Eat a camel today"
So first we have some wayward beavers and now camels?
I think you know where this is heading...
Posted by: Edward Teach at December 10, 2008 11:38 PMEdward Teach; you're not going down the "What happens when you cross a camel with a beaver?" road ...;)
Posted by: DaninVan at December 11, 2008 4:26 AMThis is how Polish jokes got started
Posted by: WL Mackenzie Redux at December 11, 2008 7:19 AMJust so you, know beavers were wiped out in Poland at the end of WWII. They were reintroduced after the war but they are still quite rare sight there.
Hard to blame the idiot for not knowing and not recognising that there were beavers in action if animals are never seen and rarely heard about.
