How are sea otters killed?
The sea otters are killed for may reasons. In the 1700-1800s on the coast of California, the sea otter was hunted for its gorgeous pelt. It was killed by fishermen who thought the otters were eating too many of the fish they wanted to catch. The sea otter were hunted almost to extinction. Without the sea otter, fishermen began to see changes in the ecosystem. In a easier way to explain...... They were used for their thin fur, since hunters are killing them they are almost extinct and if we don't have sea otters our ecosystem would be worse then expecting.

Why are otters hunted?

This, as well as pollution, led to a decline in otter populations and the British otter is now protected by law.In some cultures they are hunted for food. For example, their flesh was not considered meat in some parts of medieval Europe, and the Church ruled it could be eaten on Lent.Otters are also hunted as trophies and for sport, although they are not a primary target of this type of hunting.
