It is amazing how much good beaver are able to do. Places that have lost their beaver and work to replace them see tremendous improvements.
If we return beaver to their natural habitats around the world who knows how much improvement there will be. We can already see improvement in the few places they have been returned.

The overnight vet stay came to $3400.00.
She is seeking damages from Dollerama because they didn't warm her about the danger to her dog.
She didn't win because Dollerama didn't manufacture the seed bell. They sold it already packaged, so it wasn't their responsibility.

That is complicated. Maybe the manufacturer of the seed bell  is responsible and should pay damages.
They could at least label the product better. 
Could they have foreseen that a dog might eat some of their product? It wasn't sold for dogs.
Should she have been more careful with her dog? I know dogs love to eat odd things. How much is the owner responsible if the dog eats something that makes it sick.

I think the Vet's bill seems a little high. They only kept the dog overnight and they charged over three thousand dollars.

I guess the lesson here is to not let your dog eat odd things and maybe look for a cheaper vet.]]> This happened to a BC woman and her dog ate some of the pieces and became quite ill. The overnight vet stay came to $3400.00.

Mostly we should leave deer and all other wildlife alone. What we do to help them is not helping them.
I stopped people from feeding donuts to a snapping turtle yesterday. Donuts are just not their natural diet. 
It is possible that the donuts could do them harm. 
In the same way, being picked up by a human can really do harm to a fawn.
Nature knows what nature needs. Leave nature alone.
