🎶 🎵 Whom let the Minks out? 🎶 🎵

Apparently someone let 25,000 to 40,000 minks out of their cages of a Mink farm.

They apparently were able to recapture a majority of them, but also a lot of them were run over by the nearby interstate... and police think there are still less than 10,000 loose in the wild and suggesting people protect their pets and livestocks (like chicken, ducks, etc).

@revenant is that a guess, or they have officially said they did it?

A lot of the animals died on the highway as they were breed in captivity and may not know how to hunt and could be soon dead with 20⁰F freezing temperatures

We used to have mink farms in the UK. Stupid animal activists used to free them, but not think of the harm it would cause to native wildlife.
We no longer have these farms I am glad to say, but we still have sightings of mink from time to time.
Animal rights activists ? If so they ended up being just as responsible for their deaths as the people raising them for their fur. 🙄

@bijouxbroussard True, but the rational would be that they would die either way but this way the fur farmers don't get a profit from it.

Ohio trappers are going to have a good season.

@MethDozer They're not wild Mink, so they might mostly be dead before trapping season is within the next two weeks
MethDozer · M
@Viper maybe, but two weeks ain't that long.

So it was probably the fur haters who freed them not concerned about all the damaged it has done
