- LETTERS, Page 8Do unto Otters
-
- I was enraged by your report that commercial fishermen are
- not upset about the deaths of sea otters in the wake of the
- Alaskan Exxon Valdez oil spill because an otter can consume as
- much as 25 lbs. of seafood a day (NATION, Aug. 7). These
- fishermen seem to think every resource on earth is for humans
- only. The otters have more right to the seafood; it is their
- only source of sustenance. We must realize that we are
- encroaching on the sea otters' territory and their nourishment.
