Beavers can help manage water-related issues such as drought, flooding, and even water pollution.

 

But when these animals set up their homes too close to people they can become a problem.

 

They can cause property damage, and if cornered by humans they may even bite, which can lead to rabies and other diseases.

 

These animals have been setting up their home in the pond behind Snackland.

 

Manitoba Conservation has placed traps in the pond to safely remove the animals and have them relocated.

 

Animal owners are asked to keep their pets away from the water until the traps can be removed.
