I love them too death but they are straight up murder muppets.
News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Watery wolverines
The statement from the wildlife management seems to imply the women were being idiots, but the news article sounds like they were attacked randomly
When I saw "otter attack" the first thing that came to mind is they must have been harrasing them or too close to babies. Something stupid, whatever it was.
I think the otters are planning something...
We otter prepare for it.
Otters really aren't as cute and gentle as people like to think...
They're fucking adorable, are you kidding me? That just doesn't bypass the fact that it's a wild animal that doesn't give a fuck about your instagram stories or your need to pet it.
They’re fucking adorable, are you kidding me?
They rape baby seals and hold each other’s pups hostage for food.
Also at no point did I place the blame on the otter for the attack, just pointing out they're fucking assholes.
I didnt claim they were adorable all the time, but they're cute as shit when they're floating on their backs and washing themselves. Dolphins are cute too, and they'll rape anything that isn't bolted down.
They really otter leave them alone...
It's Chucky!!
l'otters are not afraid
