阅读下面的短文,从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,有两项是多余的。
Otters(水獭) are cute water animals. 1 In Japan, some "otter cafés" are open for business. People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take "funny" videos. These photos and videos posted online have attracted more people to buy otters as pets.
However, these photos and videos hide the fact that the online trade is doing harm to otters. In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. According to a report, 70 per cent of otters sold online are under a year old. 2 When they're kept as pets by humans, they do not live full, natural lives. Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to fifteen in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. 3 Their owners' bathtubs or pools are much smaller than the bodies of water in the wild.
On the other hand, it is not wise to keep otters as pets at home. 4 If they're kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are upset, they will make loud noises and even attack people. If a person is bitten by an otter, he or she needs to go to the hospital immediately.
5 Well, one of the main ways is to let more people know that otters should not be kept as pets. We should also keep an eye on online posts about these animals. When photos and videos show baby otters being kept or sold as pets, don't share them.
A. These animals also need enough space to swim.
B. They have a very special fishy smell.
C. These baby otters are stolen from their mothers.
D. These baby otters run away from their mothers.
E. Now more and more people like keeping them as pets.
F. What can we do to stop the otter pet trade?
G. How can we keep otters as pets?
