Closed petition Legalise the keeping of otters as domestic pets

Closed on

Generally speaking it is only legal to keep an otter for scientific or educational purposes after applying for permission. We believe this is wrong. Whilst otters should remain licensed because keeping an otter is hard work, the licence should be expanded to include domestic pets.
