The two kits were part of a family of beavers moved from an area of Tayside.

Just so we’re clear.
Missing beavers in rspb reserve = an unfortunate fact of nature
Missing beavers anywhere else = definitely deliberately killed by farmers

there was a reason most things were killed for.
otters, while looking very nice, are efficient killing machines, on an assortment of 'prey'.
after all the excellent work, on releasing salmon and trout eggs/fry into rivers, one would assume the so called experts, have told otters not to eat them.
of course, pigs do fly, although, personally, l have never seen one. But they do have a fall back reason, farmers polluting rivers.

Didn't the experts insist that sea eagles would not kill lambs, until they did! I am pretty sure a similar set of conservationists have insisted Wolves and Lynx would not predate on farmed animals either.
I hope the experts, if more predators are released in the UK, are able to tell these predators that Badgers are a protected species (with their own personal act of Parliament)!
My only comment on the above link, is well done Otters!

it's great to see otters, they look lovely nice animals.
the reality, they are ultra efficient killing machines, straight choice, trout salmon, or otters.
l think the people calling for the re-introduction, of extinct, to the UK, wear rose tinted glasses, their darlings, only do, what they say they will predate on.

I have only seen an otter here once, it was when the frog spawn hatched into lots of frogs in the pond (on the stream), I think it was here hoovering up the young frogs.

A lot of experts turn out to be idiots.
'Expert' just means you've been to university and been educated by someone else with a bit of paper that says they're an expert. The law of averages says that on a scale of 1 to 100 that uni graduates fall to one side or other of the mid point, with 'experts that know their stuff' at one end, and 'educated idiots' at the other. The real issue is when the even higher 'qualified' educated idiots run the university, and their bulls**t will always trickle downhill.

talking to a university lecturer the other day, and was told the quality of the students has gone down hill, and with the financial pressures on the Uni's, there is pressure on the staff not to fail anyone (as the uni misses out on fees). Also each course has to have a standard deviation curve of achievement (no matter the quality of students).
