Like all rodents, they have to continually gnaw to wear their teeth down. Beavers cause massive destruction to woods and forests and can change entire landscapes within months, with their incessant gnawing and dam building.
They were fine when Britain was almost entirely Wild Wood, nowadays they would just be a destructive menace to the countryside and environment.

You sure it's beavers and not otters?

Yes i'm sure. It was Beavers, they were introduced in May after an absence of 400 years.

They were released into the wild. I do know more about what happens in Jockland than you.

Ok ....... well look forward to having no trees in Scotland by this time next year - they'll have chewed them all down and flooded you all out - serves you right!

In the UK, for example, 60% of the 3,000 species whose fate has been studied have declined over the past 50 years. Our living wonders, which have persisted for millions of years, are disappearing in the course of decades.
Interesting that Natural England.....ARE...
Look, for example, at the board of Natural England. Its chairman, Andrew Sells, is a housebuilder and major donor to the Conservative party, who was treasurer of the thinktank Policy Exchange, which inveighs against regulation at every opportunity. Its deputy chairman, David Hill, is also chairman of a private company called the Environment Bank, whose purpose is “to broker biodiversity offsetting agreements for both developers and landowners.” Biodiversity offsetting is a new means of making the destruction of precious natural places seem acceptable.
Private developers...Double standards are DESPICABLE!...
I am sorry this not directly about Wolves.... but it is related.
