In a small town in Cumbria, a group of otters has made quite a name for themselves after causing trouble in the local neighborhood. These mischievous creatures have been sneaking into people's gardens and ponds, feasting on their prized Koi fish. The residents were understandably upset and took action to protect their aquatic pets.
One resident, Nigel Cooper, was particularly affected when he witnessed an otter kill seven of his fish in the dead of night. He even installed a 5-foot fence to keep them out, but it seemed like these clever otters were always one step ahead. Nigel, who has a soft spot for otters, decided to set up a social media group to keep an eye on their activities.
He also tried to deter the otters by placing chicken wire on top of the fence and blocking any potential entry points. For a while, it seemed like their efforts were successful as the otters stayed away. But as they say, "curiosity killed the cat," or in this case, the otter. Fresh CCTV footage revealed that these pesky hunters were back at it again, undeterred by the obstacles put in place.
Nigel feared that some of the otters may have been harmed, as there were reports of them being hit by cars. However, to his surprise, they reappeared unscathed. Despite their nuisance, Nigel couldn't help but admire their resilience and cleverness. He even trained his two Chihuahuas to bark at any intruders and installed motion sensor lights to keep an eye on his beloved fish.
To protect his fish, Nigel decided to install an electric fence around the pond. He reassured that it was harmless, only giving the otters a small shock to deter them. He had consulted with otter organizations who recommended this method as a safe way to keep them away. Despite the ongoing battle, Nigel still has a soft spot for otters and finds joy in seeing them around, just not in his garden.
