Polish minister claims beaver tail meat an aphrodisiac

/ 05:35 PM June 11, 2019

Poland’s agriculture minister Krzysztof Ardanowski championed hunting beavers, which are accused of causing substantial damage, claiming the meat of their tails is an aphrodisiac.

“If people recall that the tail of the beaver has, apparently, aphrodisiacal qualities, perhaps this problem could be solved,” Ardanowski said in parliament.
