Watching last night's Natural World about them. They're wonderful, wonderful animals as, to be fair, are most of the mustelids...
Oh aye wonderful creatures. When theres no fish left the idiots who thought it was a good idea to release them here there and every where will realise why they were wiped out in the first place

Give over, otters were here before men learned to fish and should be here long after...

got sod all to do with angling, as keen as I am. They dont take a fish to eat they take them to have a bite, leave the fish dying and then off for another one. Reducing the breeding stock all the way. If the fish decline the other species dependant on them, kingfishers for example also decline and its taken a long time to get the numbers back up. Plenty of rivers still struggling due to pollution from diesel spills, chemical spills etc without Otters buggering things up further

Do you have published evidence of this?
