Letter to the Editor - What is up with the park board?

Editor,

What the heck is going on with the Hill County Park Board?

I have noticed the ongoing discussions about the beaver problem in the park, and am dumbfounded as to why the park board members cannot agree to try any other methods for beaver control.

The controversy about trapping versus using non-lethal devices to control the beaver population is not an either-or situation. Maybe both methods are needed — maybe not — but nothing will be gained if they don’t agree to move forward and try to find a better solution. There is nothing to lose, and possibly a lot to gain.

What, exactly, are they afraid of? If we all acted like this, the human race would still be using stone wheels and throwing spears.
