Never heard of such a thing.

B-B-But I thought otters were “The Mammals of Peace”.

I remember on that croc hunter show the keepers were more worried about having to go into the otter enclosure than mess around with the crocodiles.

That is extremely unusual. If they catch the critter my first thought would be to check it for rabies. I’ve never heard of a rabid otter before but then I never heard of a rabid caribou until one was killed and diagnosed on Alaska’s North Slope many years ago when I worked there.

The kid knows what a wood chuck would if a wood chuck could chuck wood.

No skin off his back.

As you probably know, closely related.

For some reason, we think otters are cute and therefore safe.
AFAIK, nobody thinks that way about weasels, ferrets or wolverines.

Reminds me of the cover of one of those MEN’S MAGAZINES back in the 1950s and 60s where a man is fighting off animals.

Yep...very closely related. I used to have pet ferrets. Cool critters. If I was a mouse, I’d be more terrified of a ferret than I would of a cat. If you really want to know how vicious and aggressive weasels can be, check out this stoat murdering a rat bigger than he is...

LOL.
I hope the kid is OK now, though.

The issue isn't whether the otter broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with his aquatic guests (he did), but if we blame the otter, shouldn't we blame the entire animal kingdom? And if we do, isn't this an indictment of all of God's creation? Now, I'll put it to you: you can say what you want about the otter, but I'm not going to sit here and let you badmouth God!
