Who doesn't love beavers? They are a major keystone species of the environment. Beaver ponds force more water to the aquifer, helps the local area survive droughts, and provide new aquatic homes. Beavers will create little irrigation canals that helps water local areas.

post10 claims not to hate beavers, but there are reasons to doubt that.

Beavers are like the spiders in your bathroom at 3 am. Yes you are useful but not in this context.
