swandog1 50 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 whats the laws in getting a road killed otter stuffed as i have just found one. Was on the way home from the shop and it was lying on the road, but it wasn't there when I went, this being in the space of around 5 minutes. The sad thing is it has milk in it. Thanks swandog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bell 3,608 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 You can apply for a license to get one done in England, not sure about Scotland. Need to show them it's for educational purpose ie kids doing a project on it at school. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm sure you could get it mounted if cause of death is proven but a bitch in milk probably has a very bad pelt on her. Some of the taxidermists on here could give a better answer. Pity that as there's probably a litter of cubs out there starving. Did you open her up to see if they're still in her ?

bell 3,608 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nope can't do otters even if it's run over in front of head of English nature lol. Need a license. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I think you can get otters done, as long as they are RTA's. A friend of mine got one done two years ago and everythings above board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulf 820 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 last I heard you would be best chucking it away you don't need the shit that comes with otters mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I picked one up and was applying for the licence but the taxidermist had a long waiting list so I didn't bother with it. I spoke to the relevant bodies and was told they HAD to be licensed. To have an otter or any part of an otter was a big no no, even if rta'd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, my mate took his otter i and it got done straight away. All legal and certified. Also people sell otter trophies all the time....even on ebay. But who know eh? It's confusing...

You need a licence for an otter but buggar all for a Dartford warbler......where is the common sense in that ?!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
