Time to put a bounty on these.

Next door neighbour had an otter as a pet, followed him ever where. 

He gave it to the zoo in the end.

Problem created when it’s suspected the loony brigade released 5000 mink. Poor things will be feckin starving.

Mink are fantastic wee predators, but I’d cull every last one in the UK.

I here those Harry Potters get round a dog like a snake and can make a real mess of them

They are top class predator but Fully agree , every last one needs wiping out   , spent a few years on there case and the kill factor is amazing ,  from kingfishers  coots morhens infact  anything that lives around or in the water and a dozen feet up trees is on their  menu  hope the antis who set out to release from farms feel proud of their achievement

I’d say that would tell a person if they had a decent dog round them if they tipped into one of those f***ing things and it stayed the course.

Strange thing is I've bolted a few mink, you would think they would kill a ferret or at least stand their ground. Nearly dived on the first one I bolted thought it was a black rabbit, thank god I didn't. The JR's killed a couple in little streams over the years. They slept in the shed for two weeks after they where stinking and you can't get it off.

Plenty of otters on the ribble now apparently they are taking nearly as many fish as the foreigners. 

[blackmaggie 3,375]

there is gnipper theres a real big old fella at ribchester nicked name arthur and like the polish they dont have a close season i believe a few have fallen to road accidents near some to fisheries 

Edited December 16, 2019 by blackmaggie

[gnipper 5,963]

They've started turning up near mine now, one put in an appearance in the middle of half a dozen fisheries and i bet he was about as welcome as a hedgehog in a johnny factory.

There’s a family of otters on our river now and one night walking the dog had a shine round the local lake and thought a fox was on the island as the water is only about 1.5 foot deep so started calling and it came in, to my surprise it was a huge dog otter the c**t was in hammering the roach shoals. Another time we were pike fishing and a mink comes out of the weeds and nicks an eel from our bait bag the cheeky b*****d, next time I took the terrier but he never showed, the we mink was chasing the fowl in the cat tails
