Memo To: Riga City Council, Department of Parks And Recreation
We here at Literotica wish to present an unsolicited bid to the problem outlined in the news story below.

We are in contact with a man who is called the Pied Piper. He, through the magic of his flute, can rid the City of Riga of the beavers that have been damaging city property. No beavers will be harmed in the process.

Due to payment problems with the city of Hameln in Germany, the Pied Piper's gig will have to be paid in advance, via an escrow account. Due to the the current fraqility of the Euro and most of the world's currencies, the payment will need to be in gold.

The Pied Piper is ready to unleash the very latest sound, 'The Beaver Ramble.' Dig it baby, but keep your children inside.

Awaiting your response.

Riga beavers pose puzzling urban problem

RIGA (Reuters) – Officials in Latvia's capital city are to seek suggestions from people about how to deal with an unusual city centre problem: a colony of beavers.

The online version of Diena newspaper said on Thursday that a Riga city committee had been asked by the parks and gardens department to come up with funds to get rid of the beavers, which have been damaging the sides of a canal which runs through parts of the picturesque city centre.

But because some members of the committee did not want to be associated with killing the animals, the panel decided to launch a competition for ideas on how to deal with the beavers.

"If by the autumn a better way is found to deal with the situation than catching these beavers and putting them down, then that could be done," Diena quoted Riga city official Askolds Klavins as telling the committee.

The parks and gardens department has long complained that the beavers are damaging trees and the sides of the canal.

The department has suggested using local hunters to catch the beavers, but the council has so far stopped short of taking such action.
 
And to think that the crazy Brits deliberately unleashed the potential for a similar problem island-wide. Silly Europeans, beavers are for fur--and meat.

Apparently, the European beaver was once a widespread English species. Then they were hunted to extinction by humans for their valuable fur, meat, body oils and scent glands but may have survived in England until 1789.

In Scotland a trial beaver reintroduction has been licenced at Knapdale in Kintyre and in England and Wales sites for further releases are now being identified.

The Pied Piper may be busy for a while.
