I know exactly how many otters have been rehabbed by UKWOT

3 have been rehabbed and released in the area that they were found

3 are currently in process of being re habbed, one of which has died.

After the idiot shooting an otter I decided to do a little digging in to the rehabilitation but more so the release of otters. So I asked Natural England and these are the two responses I got;

1 - Under the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2017, it is an offence under sec 43 (1)(a) for a person to deliberately capture, injure or kill any wild animal of a European protected species. It is also an offence under sec 43(3)(a) for a person to be in possession of, or to control a wild animal of a European Protected Species and an offence under 43(3)(b) for a person to transport said animal.

However, under sec 44 (1) a person will not guilty of the offence under regulation 43(1)(a) of deliberately capturing a wild animal of a European protected species, or an offence under regulation 43(3)(a)
or (b), if the person can demonstrate that the act in question�
(a) was in relation to an animal that had been disabled otherwise than by the person�s unlawful act; and
(b) was done solely for one or both of the purposes of�
(i) tending it and releasing it when no longer disabled; or
(ii) releasing it after it had been tended

With regard to the release of a rehabilitated otter, you would need to try to avoid doing so into an environment where it could cause conflict e.g. a fishery or that would compromise its chances of survival. Because the animal will have been �under the control of man� (albeit temporarily), failing to consider the aforementioned points (i.e. appropriate release sites), could result in the offence of �causing unnecessary suffering� under sec 4 of The Animal Welfare Act 2006. Obtaining landowner permission to release the otter is another consideration.

2 - A licence is not required for release of a native wild species following rehabilitation.

Ideally the animal should be released at or near the location it was found injured in suitable habitat.

Now bare in mind these responses came from two people in the same team, in the same office.

Basically it shows that depending on who you speak to there is a real different message being put out there. But ultimately you do not need a license keep or release an otter if the purpose is for rehabilitation. So DO NOT listen to anything UKWOT or whoever tell you when they say you need a license.

The glimmer of hope? If somehow you find out an otter has been released near your water without your prior knowledge then there is a law being broken and you would have a legal case. Proving the release is difficult though unless there is photo or document evidence, which no doubt anyone releasing one will not have.

It shows the farce that it is, no documented numbers, releases, etc. I would like to see a change pushed by the PAG and/or AT in the higher echelons they operate in, me talking to my local NE contacts wont get it changed.

Must say the PAG Big Picture 2 report is very comprehensive and has managed to turn a couple heads of people I have shown it to. The figures on losses and costs of fencing are the real head spinner I think.

Big props to the people involved

Baden Hall has now been affected by it, all kicked off on a Facebook post with vids of diving otters and dead specimens. Hopefully they act!

I live I the midlands and have fished in the Trent valley for a number of years my fav water in the midlands being Attenborough pits and they have a huge problem on there which leads me to have to admit that all the lakes I've fished north and south of these pits are looking right into the storm of killings in the future as there is no way of fencing these waters! such a sad time for the fishing in Notts its never going to be the same again. I also had a 30 lber carp from the river last season with all its tail and fins mauled. im afraid the only way moving forward is to fish a fenced fishery and maybe some of the mystic and magic is going to be lost in the sport.

otters are only doing what they are born for hunt and eat fish the money we pay for our fishing should be used to combat this problem and the fishery owners should get grants to help them to keep there stock from this happening carp fishing is quiet expensive and a lot of care of the fish has to be second to none but this problem is killing our sport and killing otters is not the answer fences need to be put up in all waters and rivers monitored and ditches its a major problem and help and funding is overdue its time to help our fishing instead of lining there own pockets fish are getting attacked and the good quality fishing is getting harder to find my fishery has erected a otter net and monitored all the time but this needs to be in every fishery especially the little quiet ones
