Friendly reminder:
No, you don't want that otter. No, that is not a pet. No, that up close encounter where you can pay to cuddle with an otter is probably not ethical. No, I'm pretty sure that channel with a guy and his pet otters is not a legitimate "animal rescue", stop recommending it to me.
Yes, the otter is cute. Please admire them either from a distance, or behind a barrier at an accredited facility. Thank you.
.....no I'm not going insane seeing how flooded social media is with unethical otter content.
The Otter Specialist Group has even issued a Best Practice Guidelines for Responsible Images of Otters. While it's meant for professionals it can give you an idea of why it is bad to interact with otters in such a way, both for otters and people who get the wrong idea of what is good for the animal they like.
This, of course, applies to all wildlife which should be left alone in the wild and admired from afar.
