As the article says it looks like a Coypu. Poor bugger.

Saw a beaver on the news today (one of the only wild ones in UK), and I can well imagine some excitable numpty coming across it and killing it, thinking it's a massive rat.

Welcome to political correctness. A single parent with a single complaint can change the curriculum, remove books from the reading list and cause a teacher to lose his/her job just because they think their Johnny shouldn't have to do something they disagree with.
The terrifying thing is this is "individualised microscopic political correctness"
Statue with its cock out banned, fried chicken "racist" banned. evoloution banned, statistics on racial profile of criminals banned
I mean is there anything left that doesn't offend someone in some way?
Parents that paranoid should just keep their kids at home. Bad luck for the kid, but at least the parents' breathtaking ignorance doesn't ruin things for everyone else.
On a subtler note, school is where you go to be away from your parents. To grow as an individual and learn some of lifes shittier lessons.
Allowing parental influence to follow around forever. Is something that feels so very dangerous.
In the UK this can be seen so strongly in faith schools.
Some people just don't have a sense of humour!
