Nope. Otters are completely protected under UK and European law, Carp are not

bollooox..european law or not..if i see anything of the kind happening..it`ll be rough justice for the little bleeters..i`ll set a trap with poison attached end of

The maximum penalty for intentionally injuring or killing an otter is 6 months imprisonment and/or a £5000 fine, per animal. Still fancy the rough justice route?

how much does a thirty cost to buy
the police and judicial system is outstretched as it is...can`t see them filtering phone calls and plying their resources to seek me out int middle of neet for otter interference..especially with bin laden lovers on da loose ..perspective trig.get back to thaa vroom

Oh well, you better get ready then. If the carnage otters have caused in Norfolk is anything to go by, your Cheshire carp should be afraid. Very afraid...

I have seen the damage the cute furry fornicators do 1st hand but legally there is sweet fa that can be done.

They have ripped various shropy secreet waters to bits and Cheshire is just up the road, litterally from some waters

Home grown 30+ with history from a wee fry at a guess £3k+

The problem is to most its just a fish not cute and fury like a tara.
Slight asside an issac hunt is kinda cute and often furry they often get shot at, around and in, Soooooooooooooo how about renaming tara to Issac

This kind of moronic posting is exactly the reason why I refuse to offer any knowledge or advice on otters anymore, particularly after one vagina I gave a load of advice is rumoured to have killed an otter that wasn't doing any harm in its own natural habitat. The Norfolk scenario is totally different to the rest of the country....see my past writings on this as I wont be commenting further.

To add to Steve's posting re. legislation, it is also an offence to recklessly disturb, injure or kill an otter. Their resting places are also protected.

Please post a link.

That's the danger. What we really don't want is a bunch of wannabe Charles Bronsons trying to eradicate the legally released otters.

That's the popular misconception....the vast majority of otters across Britain were not released and were a process of natural recolonisation (except places like Norfolk where that tit was realeasing a bunch of semi-tame otters in one area). Simple population dynamics and ecology say that was going to be a problem! There will only be as many otters in an area as there is enough prey to support them...which is why they live in very low densities over a large territory.
