This is a very serious threat. They played their hand very well by circumventing the ODFW and Game Commission and trying to get the ban passed through the legislature. It was presented to the Committee on Energy, Climate and the Environment where they enjoy a very receptive audience. The public hearing period was less than a week after the bill was announced leaving us no time to prepare a defense.

The crime in all this is there's not a shred of scientific evidence that any of the things they are stating are true. Oregon has a great beaver population anywhere the habitat supports one. The implication is that areas lacking proper habitat don't have beavers because they've been trapped out. What a crock! Beavers can't live in mature shaded riparian zones with steep stream bank gradients.

I'm afraid that this bill will likely pass....

Stupid libtards from California.....better research how oregon was founded

This is why I don’t understand how hunters/trappers vote for democrats,it bites you in the back side eventually.

Bunch on here .....

Time to start setting bear traps for stupid humans?

yep,ANTIs without even realizing .

You guys can't blame Ca them Willamette valley libs thought stupidity was a contest, and you guys are winning.

Feel sorry for my family and friends that didn't get out years ago, even mom and dad pulled out of that mess and they were born and raised up there.
