We are expecting an Argentine judge to investigate whether CFK is behind those suspicions beavers. Ariel Lijo would be a good guy for the job.

They need to catch the Anglos responsible for introducing them to the island.

Certainly the members of the group responsible for introducing the beavers need to be “terminated with extreme prejudice.” It was the Argentine Navy. ;)

No evidence it was the Argentine navy. Spurious claims.

It was certainly some Anglo(s). Behind any environmental disaster, animal extermination, or invasive species disaster in the last 300 years, always place your bets heavily on the Anglo.

Why do Anglos like you imoyaro believe your country has never ever ever done anything wrong in all of history, against anyone? Tell me, why are you incapable of self-introspection and admission of flaws or wrongdoing.

Why are the Anglos physiologically unable to say “oops, my bad”? Will you all get buzzed by Thor from the heavens or something?

How do you explain that Anglos are perfect and incapable of error or foul, biologically explained?

This thread is about the damage caused by beavers to the southern cone. As my refuting article makes clear, the culprits were the Argentine “Navy.” You claimed I was lying. The article shows without doubt that the Argentine Navy was the group that introduced them in the 40's. You are without doubt a lying piece of trash. That is how I will always treat you, Chopper. Doesn't matter who or what you are. ;)

Vaca, clearly you cannot retain information and come to a clear understanding that the Argentine Navy introduced the beavers for the fur trade. Trying to blame the “ Anglos ” this time will not work. In the past the UK has done some deplorable things admittedly but so has “ every country ” in the world , so why intent on blaming the “ Anglos ”, or is the only site where you can vent your spleen.
