Baby River Otter gets swimming lesson.

3. Conservation released Otters into the river adjoining our farm.

They literally cleaned out the fish from the river. You would find huge piles of fish with the fins chewed off. It seems that Otters need to learn to fish. To the ever lasting disgrace of Missouri Conservation the Otters they released had never learned to fish in the wild. Otters moved after they cleaned out the fish, when they came back some in Conservation admitted their mistake encouraged trapping. As for myself I do not mind Otters too much they got rid of tourism on the river even if the river is dead devoid of fish and the pools are stagnant.
