Otterly adorable

@stux I otter boost that

@stux Giving them a reason for their existence. It’s utterly essential for everyone, humans and otters, alike.

@stux
Animals in captivity are *not* ‘adorable’.

[Gast]

@ELS @stux

Unbelievable. They don't need a reason. Animals have always got on perfectly well without a reason. This is anthropomorphic justification for animals being held captive. And pathetic.

@ferrata @stux
Beautiful video. 🤩
And thank you for sharing their names.
With a search engine search I found that it looks like the video is not only trending on Mastodon but also on Instagram and Twitter. 🦦

@ELS @stux more like “otterly” essential

[Gast]

@stux The content we need right now

[Gast]

@DziadekMick @stux It’s because they’re captive that they need that “human” need. These animals are captive because they were rescued and are now habituated to people so that if they were released, they would cozy up to people, which is very dangerous for a wild animal and, often, for the unsuspecting people to whom they cozy up.
