I'm having trouble deciding if the "facts" provided are actually...well...fact.

Either way, those are some adorable little critters.

Not otter meth therapy as a whole, just that otter in particular. I've known a few former meth otticts (I apologize profusely for this pun - I know not what compels me to do these things) and the one shown does not look like one that has been helped, but rather a stock photo of an otter portrayed to be enjoying its time at a rehab facility.

All I'm saying is, if they really wanted people to support their services and the otters in need, they would have actual testimonials of real otters seeking help. It just seems like they're delivering unrealistic imagery to pander to the masses like they were selling soda instead of showing that there are real otters reaching out for help, something that other otters can relate to, which is all they need to do.

Maybe I'm asking a bit much here, I understand they need to make their facilities look appealing, but I just wish they could deliver something more real than what may as well be a timeshare postcard.

Ever since Oshawott became my favorite water starter I do like otters a lot more. It's like you are reading my mind Escapist!

In the first picture they are doing something called rafting, they hold hands while they sleep so that they don't float away from eachother.

Oh, they are constantly reposting articles. I think most of these for the last few months have been reposts.
The Escapist seems to have a few issues with filling the front page, so they are recycling.

Yeah... Look, I support The Escapist and sympathize with the site regarding the rather obvious financial problems. But it's a little bit sad when the coverage of PAX amounts to a repost of the cute otters of yore. Those otters are old now.

At some point, the sooner the better, Defy Media is going to have to 1) Spend some money to make some money, meaning hiring some new content creators, and 2) Figure out a revenue model to keep paying them. It's getting kinda urgent, frankly.

You forgot the third option, pull the plug.

1 and 2 are not options to choose from though, they both need to happen.
