Peter Dinklage reads a very funny letter in defence of beavers
Letters Live
2024 Jul 18
In December 1997, as a result of an official complaint from a neighbour, a Michigan resident named Stephen Tvedten received, indirectly, a stern warning from the region’s Department of Environmental Quality in the form of a letter – a letter in which he was given six weeks to remove two “unauthorized” and “hazardous” dams from the stream on his property or else face prosecution. Tvedten’s amusing response soon made the local news. The case was quickly dropped.

Now, I can add his "off-screen" sense of humor as well.
