Folks around here with boats aren't terribly happy with otters for making messes of their boats but I haven't heard anyone suggesting torturing or exterminating the critters. People just take precautions against the otters.
Not terribly happy with the coons around here because they're pretty destructive, but we've managed to coonproof pretty well and the dogs keep them on their toes, too. Haven't actually killed one for half dozen years or so.
You want to play in chicken'scoop, you have to expect some sh|t n feathers and an occasional peck.
Some people are just a plain waste of skin; should be tortured, maimed, dismembered, etc.

Sounds reasonable.

Make that "most" and I'll agree with you.
