As I alluded to, I'd found that page already. I'd like to know what they do that's more destructive than beavers flooding your land. Why single out the fisher like that?

I mean, wolves and foxes can wreak havoc on farm animals, but at least they don't turn your land into a swamp.

It is cute indeed, like a big polecat, and "can be" tamed (As any other mustelid they can bite hard if they want or are treated bad).

A healthy ecosystem provides enough shelter to the preys for sustaining both preys and predator. It does not modify the ecosystem in the way than a beaver does. Not even close.
