I wouldn't call their reasoning a 'bag of shit'. They're desk jockeys, led by wader wearing scientists, all of whom are trying to keep shit by the book. What Is a bag of shit is that you will now

They won't do anything about otter numbers either. Lots of problems here with Pine Marten killing everything, but the powers that be, won't entertain any notion of controlling numbers. There was some

That's a monster!! We only have the little native ones here. Plague hit them about two years ogo, so don't know what numbers are like now, but where the plague hits, it wipes them out.

The river had natives in it, then the signals moved in, the natives didn’t last long after that.

Think Ireland is the only Country in Europe, that has no invasive crayfish species. 

I think I read somewhere, that fish grow huge in rivers that have a large population of signals. They must like the taste of them too?

They was brought to the uk in the 70’s for the food trade, a few escaped and went mad ?

Fcuk don’t mention otters, they have ruined me local fishing stretch, but like the local badgers, you know you can’t touch em so best just appreciate them for what they are an they always brighten up a walk ?

I reckon that might change if they go ahead with the full introduction of beavers and the otters start killing all their young.
