Quote:Otter population up sharply but still manageable, say experts who urge public to learn to co-exist with them
- The otter population in Singapore has nearly doubled to 150 over the the past four years
- However, it is nothing to be concerned about yet, otter expert N Sivasothi said
- If the population grows further, there are natural ways to manage the animals without having to resort to culling, he added
- Other environmental and animal welfare groups said that people, for their own safety, need to know how to respond when they see wildlife

Well I kinda guessed the sentiment for a need to cull the otter population will arise sooner or later. Sigh.
Even though I love otters but I can understand why some people may see their growing numbers as an issue. Not just to their private property but to the local biodiversity too.
