Of course it could be an assumption, an educated one based on over 20 years of studying otters, unlike yours of course! What evidence there is so far (which you had no clue about until I corrected youabout the nonsense you were spouting), of removed animals, indicates the sameanimal a big marked male (a persistent offender), due to gates being left openby anglers and getting back in after dark. Suggests that the assumption is correct, unless of course you can provide a shred of evidence to the contrary,rather than the usual wild speculations you write.
Because they are bullsh!ting those anglers by not telling them the true agenda they want and that’s a cull of Red Data list highly protected animal. And that is not honest and is not right! And would all of those signing support that course of action ?
Wrong there’s evidence from elsewhere on the European mainland where otters were never lost that shows how they have coexisted with their fish stocks for 10,000 year in Sweden, Norway, Finland and they are still lands full of fish many growing to larger specimen sizes than we have here.
Well that will be two of us then, as I’ve joined your long running club!
Like you it’s “my” opinion and no I don’t have a mandate and nor do you, the BS has some of one (between 1-2% of those buying a licence) but that’s not you is it? And as yet I’m not aware that there’s a counter petition running to the Bullsh1t’s one. But I can assure you, I will be making a counter submission to Government, pointing out the shortcomings of this ridiculous petition that for sure. It is not in my name and never will be!
Clearly you haven’t read what he wrote elsewhere or you’d have quoted it in full, and are trying to blag and bolster your case, making it up as you go!
No one can say definitively whether something will happen or not, all that can be done is base it on how many times it happened previously and work out a risk assessment for how likely it will happen in the future. So how many people and particularly children have been attack by otters ever, given the Bullsh1t Society claims they are out completely out of control? Well that would be never in living memory and rarer than Rockinghorse sh!t!
The only otter running down a street on the net I can find is the one in Manchester City Centre caught on CCTV very early in the morning. A city I happen to know something about and the wildlife that frequents it, as I’ve lived here all my life and know personally many of its amateur and professional naturalists, ecologists, etc that study its flora and fauna. That otter attacked no one, has never been seen again and is likely to be a transient animal that came off the Rochdale Canal 30 yards away from where it was filmed.
Clearly not that bright really!
You may doubt it but that’s what he wrote on a serious thread to a serious comment to him. So he makes light and treats it as a laugh, a serious thread because that’s what you are implying and sign a petition of person that does that. Covertly and hiding your real aim of wanting a highly protected red date list species culling is nothing to treat lightly or to have a laugh about.
I’m sure you are as I’m sure they’ll at some point think of something none-lethal to come out with The words “Gone off half-cooked comes to mind.”
