It seems the petition does not stand alone and that other people are trying to make changes, in their own way.

I must be reading the wrong petition? Where does it mention culling? It doesn't, it just asks for otters to be controlled.

I am aware from another forum, that there is talk of setting up a website to educate the general public about the damage that otter's cause, not just to fish stocks but also to birds and other wildlife. The idea seems to be that there will be no mention of angling so that the public don't get...

Keep an eye on here; http://www.ukcarper.co.uk/ The old tackle trader site still attracts loads of attention and some decent bargains to be had.
