That was lovely! I love otters, hares, and grouse!💕 I could watch otters for hours. They're so cute & playful! It's brilliant that the Scottish folk have Otter Crossing signs!👍😊

[@catscratchfever7540]

What a silly comment "Scottish folk" indeed! While there may well be many people campaigning very hard in Scotland to protect and save our wildlife. Scotland is no different from anywhere else in the world and wildlife faces the same pressures from those who want to follow the money, or at least where they think the money is coming from. BTW, ever heard of Trump? He was allowed to build a golf course on a SSSI, despite local opposition, Scot SNP Gov gave the green light, all of Scotland's wildlife is under threat from developers, hunters, climate change, pollution, etc, etc.

[@rat7299]

CatScratchFever They were just happy about them having otter signs, chill.

[@catscratchfever7540]

@@rat7299 The signs are put up by the IOSF, when people report otter fatalities on the roads, the signs are up but there are no guarantees people will slow down, other measures need to be put into place like tunnels or there might be other solutions out there. Yes i get it she is happy to see the signs, who wouldn't be but if they don't work........ assuming that Scotland is some kind of wildlife paradise and totally ignoring all the hunting, shooting and slaughter/trapping of innocent animals including raptors, in the city I live in we have urban otters and many people love the otters but other people just set their dogs onto them, not much reason to feel chilled!

Thank you for picking up the balloon trash, Ed. Most humans don't care the effects of these things to wildlife. It's silly to be angry at them but their blatant ignorance/stupidity is sometimes infuriating.

[@planescaped]

I keep hearing everyone say that otters/seals/dolphins/whatever love to rape everything. Methinks it nothing but an urban legend these days... One of those things everyone repeats because they see it in internet comments, when in reality it was some fluke that happened once, or never happened at all.

[@stevenlester2606]

So, the word "bloody" must be blanked out but it's okay to say verbally? What strange laws Britain has.

[@jinbiezel683]

In what Universe is verbally even considered to be a swear word? Why did you just randomly pick a word out to say, if bloody can't be said then car or house or train or doctor shouldn't be said either. These comparisons (like yours) make no sense. While it's tru bloody is very tame (Very very very tame), it is still none the less considered a swear word (of sorts). There are plenty of adults that would wack their kids over the head, or send them to their rooms for saying (but especially yelling or screaming) Bloody or even worse Bloody hell. So, while it may a little overkill as an adult to see the word bloody censored. It is not out of the realm of conceivable things to do in order to stay 100% family friendly.
