| Beaver rampage terrorizes Alberta city |
| 2010-07-20 |
| An aggressive beaver in a Red Deer off-leash park is believed to be responsible for at least two serious attacks on dogs, including one that led to the death of a husky. Several other reported beaver attacks at Red Deer's Three Mile Bend off-leash park have not been confirmed, city officials say. But an investigation has been launched to find the bucktoothed rodent believed responsible for the violent behaviour.... "I don't care how many men, or how long it takes--I want you to find the dam thing!" The central Alberta city has rarely had to deal with problem beavers, despite a large population of the rodents in Red Deer, he said.... |

| #13 "Lodge bait"? You ought to be ashamed, Anonymoose! But you probably aren't. ;-) |

| #12 OP: You never see the beaver that gets you. They use their beaver ninja skills to sneak up on you, and unless you can distract them with some delectable willow saplings, you're lodge bait. They'll use that tail like Master of the Flying Guillotine, except more beaver-tail-like instead of Flying Guillotine-like. |

| #11 #9: You people don't know what fear really is . . . . until you've been attacked by an aggressive beaver . . . . with a flat tail . . . . . and buck teeth. Posted by: Canuckistan sniper| I've got a Browning "Sweet 16" 16-gauge semi-automatic with a 32" full-choke barrel that will do the trick. I can put wadding and all into him at 20 feet. If things really get out of hand, I can haul out my gran-dad's 10-gauge double-barrel, but that's more overkill than JFM's Ma-Deuce. |

| #3 A .50? That seems overkill, unless they've been cross-breeding their beavers with Kodiaks up there in Canada. A simple twelve-gauge ought to take care of it. |
