Please pass this on to everyone. I would hate to miss thanking anyone that has had a hand in helping to save these guys from the immediate threat. Sorry for the slow response. My day has been crazy in more ways than one.
I cannot express in words how grateful I am for everyone that has taken the time to help. I know that we would be in a very sad place right now if it weren’t for your efforts!
We have what I am considering small success for now. The division has agreed to give more time to get these little guys back to health. We will be given the opportunity to try to introduce the beaver to make certain that they will all get along. I think that we have, a least to some extent, opened their minds to the fact that young beaver under the age of two need an adult. They are not willing however, to entertain the idea that it if they are not all accepted by the adult that keeping them past 180 days is an option. They are still convinced that they will become too habituated to be released. So for now we are happy to have the extra time and hopeful they will all get alone a family unit. We will be continuing our effort to educate the division.
We are typing up some notes from the meeting and sending them to the division for them to look over to ensure that we agree upon transpired during the meeting. Once we get their approval of the notes we will share with you.
Thanks again
