and let them loose in a Fishery and they will wipe it out, i know i have lost plenty and having to spend thousands to replace them its ok for the do gooders that let them loose just a shame they dont have to foot the bill for fisheries been wiped out all over the UK.

Some great shots there Donald. I could happily watch otters playing about for hours.
I've easily survived the last 20-odd years without eating fish, so they're welcome to my share!

It’s their planet too. Its funny that they don’t seem to respect when people stuff a lake full of their main diet.

no they dont respect a lake full of Carp or have any idea the price to replace a 30lb plus fish plus the fact the expence of having to put up a secure fence around a lake to keep the wretched things at bey they are just like a fox in a chicken killing for the sake of it and leaving carcasses strewn all of the place not alot of people see that first hand
