Total And Otter Bull?

[barry luxton]

I certainly agree that anglers would be treading a very dangerous path if they decide to openly call for otter and cormorant culls.

 

 

The adverse consequences of a public backlash would hurt anglers and angling far more than otters ever could.

 

 

You won't get any sence or balance with the people who claim to be repping the anglers, Salter and the a t and their members have called for the otters to be 'managed' and continue to do so. If you look at their web site and their private forum (that won't take too long as it's a quaint secular, we want action mob who write on it). I don't know what other words they can actually use with regards to management apart from culling and nor do they. It's as though they are on a mission to get rid of the problem, otters, without any proof of the damage done. No, i'm not talking about the few fotos' of dead fish that they emotively put up. I'm talking about facts and figures. If they was to show fish stocks at the time that pesticides etc un-natually keeped the otter population low and the decimation of the stock, that they now claim, they just might be beleived.

 

Thats how the secular a t work, just like the eel ban, they put out incorrect assumptions, pulb talk, hearsay arguments and wish everyone to believe that their word is fact, far from it.

 

For balance, redmire has a population of fish, otters, eels etc, do they cull them there? Or are they left to their own devices?

I couldn't agree more.

This makes O'Hara very cross. "It's just mad," he says. "Most of those fish shouldn't be there, and they're only that size because of the mountains of artificial bait thrown at them. Otters aren't a problem on a naturally stocked lake or river; the Tyne's full of them, and it's the best salmon river in England. But the main thing is, it's easy to protect a lake from otters. You put a fence round it. These people just don't want to pay. And if you present an otter with an open larder, he'll help himself. He's a predator. It's what he does."
