1. I know this is serious, but something about that headline has me rooting for the otter.

2. Perhaps they should get be her a board of her own

Anchor it somewhere with a long enough tether for her to play with and destroy ?

3. I hope people just respect her space and leave her alone.

7. I live here, they do the opposite.

They/we... I'm saddened that this animal has become a tourist attraction, a meme, anthropomorphized into a cartoon character and more.

I suppose news is news, but the response by the public here doesn't seem to align with best practices for wildlife management.

4. Nature fighting back.

Go, little otter, go!

5. It's her home. She's just defending it against intruders. Who's "terrorizing" whom ? nt
