    This is where the '****ing dumb' button suggested as an anti thanks in the suggestions thread would come in handy.

    "These people are animal liberation terrorists and had no thought for the mink or for the damage that will be done to other wildlife in the area," Anderson said.

    They may well do a lot of damage to wildlife but it's incredibly hypocritical for someone from a mink farm to pretend they actually care about animals. It's especially hypocritical to pretend to be concerned about the mink themselves.

    One of the farm's directors, Connie Anderson, blamed animal rights activists for invading the farm in the early hours of Sunday. He declined to explain why it took the farm so long to raise the public alarm.

    How can you raise the alarm ... Mrs Anderson ... when you cannot ... speak?

    I'm glad they escaped but if they cause damage to the environment, that I would not be pleased to see.

    They are originally a creature from Russia aren't they? :confused:

    It's not a case of if, it's a case of "They will".

    If this was animal rights activists it largely proves my theory that animal rights activists can be complete ****ing morons.

    A Mink kills not only for food but out of territorial instinct, some say for fun also but i've not seen any of this, so it certainly is not "Good`'

    Minks and weasels will drink the blood and leave the bodies.

    I didnt know foxes would do that though.

    Weasels or Mink perhaps? Did someone who really knows identify what killed them?

    If that many escaped, I doubt they'll make it through winter.

    The adults will have no hunting skills and the shortage of food will multiply the effects.

    No need to worry in my opinion.



    Let the chaos unfold.

    More than likely confusion :D

    Modern harvesting methods involved in tofu production result in huge numbers of the animals that live in Soy fields being killed by the harvesters.

    Also all tofu has trace elements of animal blood in it.

    Makes you chuckle really.

    Why blame the tree huggers? Blame the people who gave them their driving licences, everyone knows a mink cant reach the pedals.

    Mink are an alien species, so there is no licence needed, just shoot/trap and kill. This is ecological vandalism in the name of "animal rights", I would love to see whoever did this identified and punished. Fucking idiots.
