It was simpler to kill beavers, not better

Why does wildlife always lose? At McDonald Creek in Prospect Heights, leaders decided to "take care of" the possible flooding of McDonald Creek by killing several beavers because they can't survive being moved, says the University of Illinois.

If the beavers can't survive being moved, why move them? What have these innocent little beavers done that makes them entitled to be killed because of a possible flooding?

I'm sure there were many different actions these leaders could of taken that would of changed the fate of these poor harmless beavers.

Do we humans really have a say in whether wildlife should die or not? It would make sense to kill these beavers if they were hurting the other wildlife in the area, or causing the flooding of McDonald Creek, but nope, the leaders just simply decided that these beavers had no other option than to move and since they can't survive being moved, let's just kill them!
