Don't be koi, you otter pay attention to this ...

[rslade]

The US government buries an important climate change report.  British authorities violate a Californian court order and seize documents.  Facebook is in trouble again.  GM has created an app to order doughnuts while it is shuttering production plants.  Cyber Monday means millions of people will be getting new and unsecured devices and attaching them to the Internet.  The USPS has finally closed a gaping hole that probably allowed porch pirates to be more efficient.  Ohio allows businesses to pay taxes with Bitcoin.  But are any of these the story you should be following today?  No.

You need to know about the Chinatown Otter.

Vancouver's Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden has a large decorative pond.  There are koi in the pond, some quite old, and all quite valuable.

A river otter has gotten into the garden, and is killing the koi.

This has created a bit of a media sensation.

There is even a bit of a rivalry between fans of the otter, and fans of the koi.

So far the otter has managed to evade capture for five days.
