If they are an escaped captive beaver doesn't that in effect classify them the same as any other creature such as straying livestock and zoo escapies?

Hello, Well the Farmers are not happy on this illegal activity and who can blame them , I do not know the legality of this but there must be restrictions once Beavers are found on their land ??
Yes. At the very least any protection that beavers enjoy (which they do) from being trapped or killed should be declared void for areas where a lawful licence for their release is not in force.
My friend once sent me some vacuum-packed beaver stew that was delicious.
Even more delicious was the office consternation that met my statement about 'eating beaver' the following day
Apologies ..its Friday afternoon..when talking about natural are we talking hairy beavers? Wasnt sure the ethics of stuffing a shaven beaver

Having a Christian background I was always taught the to live under "God's Law" you had to start by living according to the "Law Of The Land", so as rewinding is not "legal" then how on Earth can it be God's work?
It seems that these rewinding plonkers live on cloud nine and believe that they are a law unto themselves and will make up any excuse to justify their "activities"!

Of course the boot is on the other foot, for some, in respect of muntjac, wild boar and for some anglers the zander.
Be a terrible shame if someone with a possible unfortunate, inevitable and immediate result (as these were illegal releases were seen in an area where there was no licence to release said beavers) mistook the dear thing for an overlooked coypu?
And anyway, and not least, there's only one "God's work" in the countryside and that's culling on sight grey squirrels by any lawful means possible.

Just throwing the concept out there...and I'm in agreement. I have a shaved head (no filth please) and that is pretty coarse when it gets a few days of hair growth.
I ll now stop being childish

Am I the only one that thinks the outrage expressed here because someone is doing with beaver exactly what shooters did with muntjac, roe and boar for decades, and which they continue to do on an annual basis with pheasants, mallard and french partridge is just a wee bit hypocritical?
The release of pheasant and redlegs is done under a General Licence. So on that there is no comparison with illegal beaver release and mallard are a native species.
No, you're not the only one.

Gods work you say…..
Best get some legal big guns in then.
I hear S.Claus & T .Fairy are a good firm and come down hard on lack of hairy beaver habitat maintenance.
I learnt at a young age that entering areas of poorly maintained beaver habitat was a risky and sometimes an unpleasant experience. Took a while to learn from my mistakes back then but discovered that certain pungent aromas and unsprung traps could lead to disease and unpleasant trips to the clinic

Roe are indigenous so should't be included.
Pheasants, mallard and French partridge are bred as a harvestable crop as all farming 'crops' are - why not include?
Boar and beaver, once present are debateable........why were they eradicated? Most probably because they are a bloomin pain.
