Beaver!!!

Back in the day when the Cleveland Barons were still the Lumberjacks, I learned just how dangerous a beaver can be. This mostly true story took place a few years ago when a few of my friends and I went to a hockey game a few days before Chrismukkah. We decided to get into the spirit of the things so we wore Santa hats. Well, the damn giant beaver mascot stole my friend's hat. Eventually, the beaver was caught, killed and it's head was shipped to off to determine if it had rabies. Brittany Stanley had to go through something similar.

The 15-year-old Akron girl was bitten on Sunday afternoon by an adult beaver she found in a small creek at the end of Congo Street in Goodyear Heights. ...

Despite Brittany's pleas to save the animal, the beaver was killed. Its skull was shipped off by the Akron Health Department to determine whether the animal was rabid. ...

The Ohio Department of Health keeps track of animal bites, but there is no listing for beaver, said spokesman Kristopher Weiss. Such bites are listed under "other," he said.

Other? Other? How can the evil that is the beaver be classified as "other?" The state needs to divert funds from education to look into this problem. That is the only way we will ever be safe from the terror of beavers.
