The Otter Liberation Front (OLF) has claimed responsibility for an attack on a busy koi pond that left one of the fish eaten.
So far ten koi have been consumed, in a series of escalating attacks. Attempts by authorities to trap the otter have been unsuccessful.
“Your traps mean nothing to us,” said a masked otter in a video released to social media on Monday. “We will strike again and again – you seem to forget that we have been here longer than any garden and will remain even when it fades from memory.”
The otter strikes began in mid-November. Intelligence officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said they are monitoring the dark web for any increased chatter among radical otterists but have so far been unable to locate any otterist training camps.
