As much as the roar of the mountain lion terrifies me, the pitiable noise made by the otter hurts me. My favorite creature of the sea is the sockeye salmon, and I hope to see many many more of them this year (in the nets).
Welcome, IronicAlchemist. I hope to never encounter an otter in my life again, especially one in pain/terror.

Really, watch out for them.
Oh my gosh that poor Otter. I'm glad you saved it! I would be sad too.
I looked up a picture of the Sockeye salmon. Very cool looking. :3 http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf...00x450.jpg

"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." Carl Sagan
It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream—a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!
Mark Twain

"Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all."
(Hypatia of Alexandria)
"Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child-mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after-years relieved of them. In fact, men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you can not get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable."
