I think people ignore warning signs about beavers because people don't see them as dangerous.
People will have complete hysterics if they see a wasp, but they will ignore warning about bigger more dangerous creatures.
Why would a person be in a field with bullocks in the first place? People will climb fences at a zoo to try and pet a wolf or even a tiger. They laugh at a beware of beaver sign. Beaver are bigger than you think. Usually they are in the water when we see them and we see the head and tail. There is a lot more beaver under the water than we realize.

As you can see this is just one incident of many. In this case the dog threatened the beaver by swimming near its lodge and its young. In other cases the animal was rabid. In either case it should have been preventable if people had just stayed away or at least moved away from the beavers when they showed signs of aggression.
