Its bloody awful and really feel for Gordy and the lads on what is a fantastic complex. I believe the ‘Slate Grey' was a victim a couple of months ago too.

I can only assume the lake can't be fenced otherwise it would have been done.

Would be hard to fence. Sad news, but that complex still has plenty to offer. Otters are slowly knack Erin get up our sport though.

When a predator targets private stock be that fish or livestock the offending perpetrator should be destroyed as sure if a dog attacking farm stock could be took out by a annoyed farmers shotgun. Locations that genuinely can't be fenced should be able to hold licenses allowing special permissions to deal with any threats to their environment without fear of the legal consequences.

Wrong or right, my thoughts too
Said it for a long time, I could see it coming before this, the only things that will be left are syndicates that are fenced in, club waters, old fish, survivors etc will become a thing of the past
Should be able to apply for a license to shoot them for me. It goes to show following their release they are not exactly going to be extinct, they are survivors. An apex predator in our fresh water systems

there is a major floor in that though
Farmers rights cannot apply
Sheep arent on the protected species list
Waters such that cant be fenced for whatever reason, what you going to do? shot an otter once the fish have been killed...a bit late by then, add to that, shoot it another will replace it
