cull of otters « Posted: 10 June 2011 at 01:17 PM »
Reading theEDP today one of the letters concering this suBject was on some tv coverage i did not see it so will not comment.The gentleman who sent a letter in is full of sympathy for a carp fishery owners.He going on about the predators of course they are idiot if dont know it.But this takes the biscuit,the gentleman owns holiday home by THE River Con Shropshire where owners wife has ornamental lake,this said gentleman fished ten carp from the river out of natural envirment for these fish to  put them in her lake 200 yards away.Otters killed all ten also 29 exotic ducks with flight feathers removed.
This gentleman now wants a cull on otters indiginous to the uk before they kill our wild life.forgive me if i got this wrong but are exotic ducks part of our wildlife the same with carp.i would thought a gentleman who can write so eloquently would know what difference is between our wildlife and domestic  ducks that are only to make a pond look pretty.
Where is the brains of somebody who has pond 200yards from a river then puts ducks who unable to fly on it..
 i would be thrilled if i saw otter and i accept nature is red in tooth and claw i also accept culls from time to time need doing but not the otter we hunted it to near on extinction in the uk and now we blessed to have it back.
I not one of those squemish people who could not kill anything i could and would kill the mink for right reasons to save animals like otters.

I agree totally.The otters must think they've died and gone to heaven with carp and duck that can't escape being provided for them by some dozy twerp who thinks he can 'improve' on nature.
There are plenty of humans who could do with culling rather than a few animals only doing what is natural to them.
Nature has been doing fine for millions of years,long before modern man came along and decided he knows best.
