Otter hunting,with packs of hounds,had ceased before the otter became a protected species.It was placed on the "schedule 1 list",to protect wild animals on the 1st january 1978 but the Masters of Otter Hounds had suspended hunting in 1977.As with most things regarding animals and the countryside the people that hunted were the first to see the decline in otter numbers.The famous Hawkstone otter hounds,with captain wallace as huntsman and master,ceased hunting in 1975 , 3 years before the otter was listed as "endangered"
