In many parts of the state beavers 海狸 are pests and need to be controlled The 10 to 12 year old girls found out where beavers lived set traps and skinned the two animals they caught The girls hope to catch ten more beavers so that the entire troop can make mittens and hats with the fur They also want to cook beaver meat Troop leaders and members say the Scouts are doing a good deed by helping control the state s beaver population But animal rights activists say trapping is cruel They want the Girl Scouts to stop in their tracks Beavers aren t only causing a problem in Alaska Residents in

that the program didn t work because there were too few trappers That s why the county set up its own committee to investigate other ways to control the area s beaver population The county will rely on its own beaver trapping program It has hired a trapper to set traps in various areas The county will pay 10 for every beaver carcass Why do many people say that beavers are a nuisance For beavers to survive they need lots of water Water provides the large rodent 啮齿动物 with a place to hide from meat eating animals Beavers also store food underwater for the winter When there s not enough water in a particular area beavers get busy building dams Beaver dams can cause major flooding and damage to the surrounding countryside as the animals cut down trees to use in their construction projects

more I tried the more he pulled away When his report card arrived during his junior year it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year At this rate he would never graduate I sent him to the school adviser and I even begged him Nothing worked One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help Please God I can t do anything
