River Otter Attacks Fisherman

[Vagabond]

All joking aside, I hope it didn't break his skin. Anti-rabies shots are not nice.

.....and rabies itself is even worse ! Which is why Norma and I keep our anti-rabies shots (and many other vaccines) well up to date. Fishing all over the world, in wildish places, it is reassuring to have some level of protection.

 

You wanted amusing comment Elton ?

 

Try this - direct quote

 

The attack ended when the man kicked the otter in the head.The otter’s whereabouts are unknown.

 

If it was a good kick, perhaps Montana might be a good place to start looking - or anywhere else a long way from Pennsylvania, or perhaps the middle of next week.

Good. All the Otter persecution chat I've read in the last 10 or so years, absolutely bores me to tears. They're spoken of in this country anyway, as if they're Grizzly Bears.

 

If one solitary Otter justifies any of the crap, all the other Otters in the World have had to put up with, I'm delighted.

 

Hooray!!...

Thanks very much mate. You know me, I always tell as I see it and I don't mince my words. I just have to leave the swearing out.
