Got a few pictures of otter on a trail cam of mine , nice animals can ruin a fishery rather quickly mind 

I think your FEO is wrong , as I understand it all birds and animals are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 unless they are a game species which have seasons or a pest species cover

Diane Abbott ? she has history of being bad with numbers ?

Funny that he is in contact with a lad I’ve been out doing cameras with on the Cotswolds today, they seem to be getting along just fine 

Probably because he is an amiable guy who doesn't take it too seriously nor throw insults around,kinesics makes it difficult to read a personality from words online.Everyone gets on fine till toys are thrown out of the pram.

Actually he says on one of his video's that one or two from the FB groups stayed in touch with him, and agree'd with him for the most part. This lad you mention probably one of those? Remember, this young lad has a real interest in big cats. He just wasn't ok with obvious vids/pics of house cats being used as evidence of puma, leopard in UK. 

This chap has good knowledge of wildlife in general. He joins a group or two, points out that said video's and images are obviously that of house cats, and gets booted out.

 It actually does remind me of cultish behavior. ?

That's how it goes lad. We f**k it up, and try fix it. When it comes to wildlife, and conservation, it's what most of us on here do, in some form or other. Reduce numbers of one species to help improve another, or to reduce numbers that are deemed by us humans to be too high. It'll never balance out, once WE are on the planet.

What would be your thoughts on an established population of raccoons Chris .

Do you think they would act like their American cousins and raid bins etc or do you think they would find a niche in the wild ,given it would take years for them to establish .

That article I put up with the women in Portsmouth shows the potential for animal rights to set free a decent amount .Most would be caught but like the mink ,some would stay free .

Very Sceptical.  But never say never, a few perhaps, but this 5000 number seems bonkers.

They are breeding in the UK, this guy found proof. 

 

Scotland was news to me, but I am aware of a handful around the Henley on Thames area that escaped from a private collection a long while back now.   They don't seem to be expanding much and very few sightings reported, they may be on the way out!
