Beavers outperform government, completing 7-year project in 2 days

Beavers outperform government, completing 7-year project in 2 days #shorts #beavers

Beavers: 1. Government: 0. 🦫A colony of 8 beavers in the Czech Republic have just completed a dam project in two days, something local officials had been planning for the past 7 years. 💪

While administrators were still pulling permits together, the beavers took the matters into their own paws, completing higher-quality work than humans would have been able to do anyways. 😎

Ultimately, they saved $1.2 million (or nearly 30 million Kč) by completing the project for free. 🦫

Yeah! But

I don't really buy all of this. Even if the brush or trees are particularly flammable, there are techniques such as fire breaks, controlled burns, and removal of debris that reduces the risk of wild fires.

Although I do agree with his point that some places should not have houses. But the complete lack of preparation and maintenance by the government is edging into criminal neglect at this point.
