    She's adorable, she's friendly, and she's never hurt anyone. I hope she lives a long and happy life.

    Are they serious? Everything wrong with normalizing capturing this free innocent animal to put her in a horrible jail which is what Aquariums actually are. Shame on these "experts"!!!

    Is there a petition to leave her alone? If doctors want to make sure she is ok, then bring her back to her home in the ocean, that doesn't bother me, but let's let her live her life! She would not be able to enjoy surf life in captivity.

    Only a nuisance to surfers, and the surfers are saying keep her free. Don't lock her up. Medical evaluation makes sense, but not a zoo or aquarium.

  • @marieannette6675
    @marieannette6675 Рік тому +7

    I totally agree!❤ if she is known and kept from harm, why shouldn't she be able to live free!!! Please don't cage her!!! That is beyond selfish, can't blame for her protective herself, it's the ignorance of humans !!!

  • @denia666
    @denia666 Рік тому +13

    Humans make me 😖 the ocean is her home. So they want to place her in a zoo and take away her freedom. That way humans don’t get bit, like come on now it’s their homes not ours. She’s tired of humans invading her territory. Let her be free

    You know what the wildlife officials should try? Leaving her tf alone, in HER home, where she is happy! Then again if they do CAPTURE her, I hope each person responsible ends up having to be examined and involuntarily "rehomed" themselves, so they too can experience how she feels.

  • @JessmanChicken86
    @JessmanChicken86 Рік тому +1

    I can't understand for the life of me why they are trying to capture it. People swimming in the ocean need to understand the ocean is not Disney Land. You swim at your own risk and no one is liable if you get bit by something.

  • @pandacub6164
    @pandacub6164 Рік тому +1

    so they want to capture the otter to experiment on it or kill it. But not the surfers that are trespassing on their natural habitat

  • @robertfergusson5367
    @robertfergusson5367 Рік тому +3

    Here's a solution, carry airhorns or similar to make noises that the otter likely wouldn't like. Use them to drive them off your surf board or whatever if they appear to start munching on it. Or find a wax or coating that would taste foul when bitten.

    • @pandacub6164
      @pandacub6164 Рік тому

      How would you like it if someone came over to your home with a blow horn and blasted it off every day and night? The otters live in the ocean, humans don't. You're the problem.

    I think they should let nature be! After all she is in her natural environment….not so for the surfers! Having been from the Bay Area and spending time in Santa Cruz the surf culture there always leans on one of the surfers laws…”locals rule”!!!

    This Otter belongs here, it's her home, the woman in this video is just so fussy over this issue, come on lady there are other things in life that are so much concerning like Climate change, Wars, hungry people in poor impoverished countries, gun violence etc. Focus on these issues lady and all those other so called Olympic surfers, stop complaining and if that otter is biting ur precious surfboards go surf elsewhere
