[Otter Joy - this was a TERRIBLE example of a release - every single rule of release was broken and an unrehablitated animal from a highly social species was dumped alone in the wild in a territory containing an existing otter group. It is almost certainly dead since the family living there already would either kill it or drive it off, and an otter of this species does not thrive alone. I am very sorry for this animal - althought it was kept EXTREMELY badly in captivity, surely Indonesia could have found someone in its entire territory that understands otters and could have done rehabilitation and release properly. It's a well-known process these days so they have no excuse whatsoever. This animal would have been better euthenazed than go through this horrible captivity and dumping] - 20/01/15: California: Why Sea Otters are the Eco-Warriors of California�s Coast
