I wonder how many will survive ? What damage will there be to the local environment .What can I get my GF instead of a mink coat ?

Domestic Terrorists !

Sounds like most of the ones they catch are dying, no reason to think the ones not caught will do much better.

They will decimate the local population of ground nesting waterfowl and that of voles. Not just this season but for decades to come. This release is hugely damaging.

There needs to be an immediate trapping and shooting scheme put in place to respond to this. They are a real pest and I am guessing even in the US no natural predator upon them?

Nothing new here, guess if I owned a fur farm, security would be one of my prime concerns. these places really irk the antis.

Hmmm now silly as it might seem,some of us in Texas have alternate attitudes from the general norm.I.E stop the problem in its infancy.Whether it be minks or congressmen.

Stupidity is more common than "Common Sense"

Here in Minnesota we have a lot of mink trappers. Those mink that get very far away, if they act at all like a wild mink, will more than likely get caught by trappers.

And since these mink do not have the winter hunting skills of a wild mink they will die off rather quickly after about a month of a Minnesota winter. I doubt many will be left alive after a couple of 20 below zero nights (farenheit) in January.

The bottom has absolutely fallen out of the farmed mink market recently, and wild ones are basically worthless. The cynic in me would be looking at financials and insurance policies.
