    “Parachuting beavers proved to be more cost-effective and it also decreased beaver mortality rates more than alternative methods of relocation.”

    The beavers overheated in the cars on the long trips.

      You should watch the documentary Operation Dumbo Drop.

    Walked by a beaver dam yesterday. Stunning what a few small mammals can do. Several acres flooded providing a very different, and far more diverse, ecosystem.

      Yes but you see tHe ReSiDenTs - human residents now, remember? Designated by GOD to hold dominion over the earth?!?! Do you even accept Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour?? - the residents were complaining. Can’t have that.

      To be fair, I give Idaho Fish & Game props for trying something to keep them alive rather than just slaughtering them wholesale like a lot of other places did.
