Caught on Video: Wild Otter Attacks Third Person in Boca Raton

WPTV-TV:

WESTERN BOCA RATON, Fla. – A third person has been the victim of an otter attack in suburban Boca Raton.

William Gibbons was by himself when the incident took place outside his parents’ home near Yamato Road and 441.

“I was locked out of the house,” explains Gibbons, “I went around to the backyard and saw an otter laying in the grass. I began observing the otter, and it came out of the water and bit me.”

    The Other Animals Are Agin’ Us
    By Tim Bedore 2003

    Did you see that in the paper the other day about those carp in the Mississippi River jumping into boats and bonking fisherman in the head? It’s true. They’re called big head carp, they‘re from Asia and they’re attacking and severely injuring many fisherman.

    Biologists claim the roar of boat motors agitates and excites these carp and they jump towards the sound but I think these biologists are naively missing an obvious connection. Fish are attacking fisherman. For the fish it’s get them before they get you, kill or be killed. Even if these fisherman are practicing catch and release, that’s a very painful, embarrassing experience for any fish and apparently they have had it.

    What about the increase in mountain lion attacks? Great White sharks moving closer to shore? Moose have been showing up in towns and stomping on people. A squirrel was in my living room last spring. Am I the only one that sees a pattern here? People, wise up! The other animals are against us. It doesn‘t take a genius to see there’s an inter-species conspiracy to thwart the urban expansion of man.

    How do the squirrels fit in? Surveillance. They spy on what we people are doing in the cities and report back to the bigger species out there on the front lines.

    And taken together these other species represent walking, we hope not yet talking, scratching, biting weapons of mass destruction. And if these other species can convince the insect world, for example a well known anti-human group like the killer bees, to join up our way of life and our democracy could be history.

    The skeptical may ask why would these other species want to hurt us? Obviously, they hate us. They are jealous of our way of life. We swim in chlorinated, safe environment pools, then towel off and have an adult beverage. They are stuck eating sludge in the Mississippi, a river polluted by guess who: their mortal enemy man. And to top it all off we eat them.

    This invasion of Asian carp is no accident. This is stage one of their well planned attack. We ignore the obvious at our own peril.

    We can no longer sit back and wait for them to attack us. It’s time we adopt a new doctrine regarding these other animals. We have to wipe out any and all species who are aligned against us, wherever they are. We can not rest until every big head carp, great white shark, mountain lion, moose and squirrel and any other species that associates with them are defeated.

    If the U.N. wants to get involved fine, if not we can do it alone. Of course the British will show up, they always do, but we will fight to protect our way of life. And if you don’t agree, you’re an unpatriotic idiot who hates America.

      Animals hunting humans? Cool.

      Makes it a whole lot easier for conservatives to feed themselves while the animals kill off the sissy progresives.

      Purchase license online, print out license, open the sliding glass door and wait for them animals to put a hit on you. Sweet! That’ll save time.

      I do think the animals should have to buy a “human” license first though. Fair is fair. I believe that otter was ankle biting out of season. The poodle unions (lap dogs, aka – democrats) will be pissed.

      If only…

    I think the otter must be sick, because normally I think wild animals are afraid of people and run the other way. But it ran towards him! That would seem unusual. Maybe it thought it was protecting some babie otters? We live in the country and in 14 years we’ve seen many kinds of wild animals. It is difficult to get a glance that them. Any movement on our part, any noise from us, and the animal flees.

      Dear HEAVYDUTY…locked out of the house possibly because a parent had to go on an unexpected work call, and he probably didn’t take his keys (car keys) with him because he carpools to college to conserve on fuel. This enables the additional fuel saved to be utilized to cart your carcass around…

      Yeah, there’s a big difference. It’s difficult for people who live in the big cities, where the only “wild” animals are pigeons, to understand. I’ve got deer and that live in the woods around my house, and there used to be beavers in our creek, not to mention the occasional snake, and I don’t even live out in the country, really. But still, an otter? “Otter” doesn’t exactly scream “dangerous animal, stay away”.

He could’ve just kept the vid to himself. It’s funny though, we criticize people for not putting the camera down to help others who are attacked. This kid didn’t even put it down to help himself.
