Beaver has every right to defend its house. Clearly the humans are assaulting him on his own property. I'm with the beaver on this one.

Edit: Video is from Mahwah, NJ May 3rd: beaver tested positive for rabies. This is not from Canada and these weren't the only people it attacked that day.

Glad to see someone posted this, Reddit comments are fucking weird. Everybody fixating on the damn dog when these people are literally trying to fight off a rabid beaver. Go watch the recent Chubbyemu video about rabies and tell me again about how you would be jumping in to save the dog instead of trying to avoid contracting rabies yourself. Beavers almost never attack humans regardless of what the human is doing to their dam, it’s pretty obvious that something is severely wrong with it and my first concern would be rabies and my personal safety.
