We are adding this to our Animal Arson series.
Also in Maple Ridge, a few days earlier a black bear was filmed opening a truck door. (see link for video)

…”Conservation officer Denny Chretien believes the three-year-old bear has broken into other cars in the area.
“It’s not a common behaviour but it is occurring.”
Chretien says conservation officers have received four calls about bears breaking into cars, including one involving a Porsche.”
Maybe its something in the water…
Whenever I see my cows bunched up in one spot I always think they are planning something. Thanks to this story I will never be comfortable with beavers. Thanks a lot Bill!
You’re welcome! 😉
