If you are a regular reader of this sight you will remember that this respected college, the Alma Mater of Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright, has had beaver problems before. Many times before. So many times, in fact, that the campus earned its own beaver killing headline “Welle-SLAY-college and a rewritten anthem.
Ahh that was some mighty good spoofing. I’m partial to a nice beaver killing alma mater. Looks like times aren’t changing nearly as fast in the ivory tower as they are everywhere else.
Beavers keep Wellesley DPW busy
Wellesley Department of Public Works employees could be seen Wednesday removing debris from a dam constructed by beavers at the State Street pond near the track and football field parking lot. The beavers’ project was obstructing the culvert and causing flooding concerns along the Fuller Brook Path, according to Natural Resources Commission Director Brandon Schmitt.
The town left the beavers alone. Wellesley contracts with an outside firm for beaver removal/relocation in some cases, though only between Nov. 1-April 15.
Pinocchio! Beaver relocation is illegal in your state. Are you saying the DPW commits crimes November through April 15? Or are you just euphamizing readers into a foggy non-awareness of the T-word. Lethal Trapping.
“As the beavers are still there (and busy as beavers), it’s very likely the debris will be back and have to be removed again,” according to the town. “We work very hard to find a way to coexist with the beavers.”
Until November. When we can kill them.
A contraption called a Beaver Deceiver (best animal thwarting device name since the Mosquito Deleto) has been used to prevent damming at Rosemary Brook But State Street pond doesn’t have the depth and size to allow for this technique there.
Here that Skip? Your name gets a compliment, even though the school can’t be bothered to hire your expertise. Here’s guessing they wouldn’t spring for Mike either, even though he’s an hour away.
Better just to complain and kill at regular intervals, then find a reporter who is so gullible she can lie about it with a straight face.
