A beaver yesterday |
When the beavers were discovered at the start of the month, it was announced that they would be trapped and rehomed in a wildlife park. The appeared to be an attempt by the Tory minister George Eustice to placate fishing interests.
A petition against this move was launched and, reading today's press coverage, there are hopes that the government will back down.

Beavers living on the River Otter - you couldn't make it up!
Beavers are not a native species. We do not know whether they might become a problem. Cute, yes. Problem, maybe.
A sister lives in Ottery St Mary. On a sample of one exposed to beaver fever, she'd be a reluctant No to allowing establishment.
