This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Otters – Action at Last?
Not read article and dont want to , tired of all this talk .
Yeah otters native species but the population dropped because of lack of food its called nature finding a balance unfortunatley they have now been reintroduced legally and more importantly illegally and the food stocks cant sustain them so they move onto lakes full of carp purposely stocked for fishing , something will give in the end , be it fishery owners taking the law into their own hands or the otter population finding a natural level , I honestly believe that commorants are a bigger threat !!!!!!!!!!!
Nope, sorry Geoff, otters aren't cockroaches or rats that we humans need to contain and cull, but an altogether different order of animal. Some - a selfish few - of 'us' "Anglers", though, find them inconvenient, with them impacting on their sporting castles built on sand and little private pleasures, and so wish to disappear them - Pfff! and they're gone - so very 19th Century, "...the Estate Keepers (soon to be mown down big-time in the Great War) will deal with them...", so very Good Old Days, so very Big House ("Oo! The frocks are nice!") Downton Shabby...
We are all entitled to our opinions and I think this is a worthy cause worth supporting. I too have issues with the name - but for different reasons - and have written to ask him to drop the word Carp from whatever title they end up with to widen the membership appeal to all anglers.
