I highly doubt they will kill her, they didn’t kill her mother (mentioned in the article). The Monterey Bay Aquarium seems to have a pretty decent track-record so I would assume they’ll figure out...

The Monterey Bay Aquarium seems to have a pretty decent track-record so I would assume they’ll figure out the best way to handle the situation without killing the otter.
I agree and would go as far to say that removing the otter is a proactive approach to the eventual situation of it biting or harming a human. As we've seen in the past, sadly when wildlife harms a...
