Does Defra really plan to remove the three beavers from Devon's River Otter and kill them – or much worse, incarcerate them in a zoo? Given that these animals have European protection, this is hardly credible – but then, until recently, neither was the wholesale slaughtering of badgers. With all that badger blood on their hands already, why would Defra ministers worry about three extra dead animals – especially when there is the angling lobby to placate and conservative land-owners to keep sweet?
