A fisherman in Belarus was bitten to death by a beaver, and all he was doing was trying to take its picture, Sky News reports. The man spotted the beaver while fishing with friends at Lake Shestakov, but as he approached to take a photograph, the beaver bit him on the thigh. The animal managed to sever an artery, and his friends couldn't stop the blood flow.

Sky News helpfully reminds us that beavers can, of course, bite through trees. Beaver attacks are rare, though, and when they do occur, rabid beavers are generally to blame (as in the 2012 attack in upstate New York (http://www.newser.com/story/152026/scouts-stone-rabid-beaver-to-death.html)). But just this week, a video was posted on YouTube showing a beaver going after a Russian man, reports the Telegraph, and two girls were seriously injured after being mauled by a beaver in Virginia last year.

The upside to this story? This guy could potentially have the best epitaph ever on his tombstone.

[revor]

There's a crazy beaver that hangs in a pond that I fish/bellyboat in.
It's is a scary situation when it comes over to defend it's territory, but I too could have a cool epitaph.
Keep that in mind if you see a guy up north killed by a beaver!!

[Lurch]

Maybe his name was Ward and he was a little rough on the beaver last night and it defended itself.

Wouldn't a good air rifle have enough power to take out a beaver? I'd think using an air rifle to silently take out a few beavers in areas you frequent might not be a bad idea.

[Shootersfab]

Gotta stay away from those dirty beaver's!

[sniper7]

Dang that sucks!

[mtik00]

God didn't damn it, the beaver did!

Wait, what were we talking about?

What's the dirtiest line ever spoken on network TV?

"Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night."

Not very likely, but if you had an eyeball shot, maybe...their hide is very thick. I used to go fishing every Sunday after church with my friend Albert, back in GA.... his grandfather's pond was over run by the critters. The first time we took one, all we had was a .22mag. It took several shots. The short version is that we eventually started taking a 30-30 simply to make it more humane. Pistol calibers didn't do it easily either. When they're swimming, it's impossible (dare I say, it REALLY IS IMPOSSIBLE) to get a head shot.

I am not buying all he was trying to do was take a picture..... They are usually love to get pictured.....
I am sure their little photo session went just a bit too far....

[buckshotbarlow]

We should ban all assault beavers...wait a minute...Israel has assault beavers...

Well golly gee whiz, Ward gave Beaver the business!

Reminds me of that Blue Collar Comedy Tour joke that Jeff Foxworthy said... "If you've ever had your nipple bitten off by a beaver... you might be a redneck." This one is way worse! [ROFL1]

[waxthis]

Last time a took a photo of a Beaver I got slapped..............[ROFL2]

[UncleDave]

Two women severely mauled by a beaver.... That's just funny right there!

[Dave_L]

People are idiots. Just because its small and furry doesn't mean its cute and cuddly. Reminds me of Monty Python... "ITS GOT FANGS!!!"
