BUT DID THE BEAVERS HAVE A PERMIT?
Government Scraps Construction Project After Beavers Finish The Job Themselves
(Thanks to Ron Wylie, who says "Send this beaver...")
Another version: Beavers Take 2 Days to Build Dams The Government Had Been Planning for 7 Years
(Thanks to Suzie Q Wacvet, who says "Send them to Washington?")
We need to unionize the beavers.

In government's defense, the beavers didn't have to deal with public hearings, environmental studies, presenting multiple options and analyses for each, NIMBYs and other "stakeholders," funding shortages, bid lettings and vetting, etc.

"A project to restore water areas in the Brdy Nature Park began in 2018, but authorities had taken years to get all the right permits" - How long will it take them to restore vowels to it?
