Singapore’s otter enthusiasts have fired back at calls to cull the seemingly emboldened critters to rein in their population.
Members of the Ottercity online community yesterday called on people suggesting the otters be hunted down and killed actually find some of the alleged nuisances before demanding their deaths.
“So before you say cull the otters, why not go out after circuit breaker and find one of these otter families that are ‘overrunning’ Singapore,” a page admin wrote.
Ottercity also urged the public to be more sympathetic to wildlife, especially as the otter population in the world is dwindling. There are only about 90 otters in Singapore.
Ottercity members work with NParks, PUB, and the Animal Concerns Concerns Research and Education Society, or ACRES, on otter-related issues.
