The hominids strike back

After a nearly yearlong armistice, some unknown humans have resumed fire in the never-ending war with the beavers, taking the third round of the fight, along with a $1,000 brass beaver statue from a Shelby County subdivision.

Neighborhood residents are holding out hope for a reversal and the swift return of their furry (brassy?) friend, though. In the words of the homeowners association president: "We'll never find another beaver like this."
