I thought that was a funny quote. Still after all this work you'd think they'd have done some sort of study to figure how or why the otters returned to their native environment.

The otter then would be flown in a chartered plane or driven hundreds of miles to a Northern California beach for re-release. Some died from the stress.

I loved Otters when I was a kid. This is terrible stuff. Maybe I should start a Pro-Otter Life organization. I'm sure it would be so helpful here where I live near no seas, oceans, or rivers.
Well, actually, I do live close to the Meramac River, but it doesn't have any otters.
