Now the minks have it
« on: 06 Nov, 2020, 09:51:11 am »
Not sure what surprises me most; that people still wear fur coats, that they still farm mink, in Denmark!(not sure why that surprises me more) or that mink can catch it

 Wonder if those animal rights protesters who released all the mink from that farm in England to run wild and cause mayhem to the local wildlife are now regretting their actions.
Probably not!

Doubtful Olly as I suspect it happened so far back that most of them are no longer with us... :undecided:

 Last I heard they were breeding for fun and devestating our own small wildlife in England Frankie.
Remember when I still lived over there they were nesting Next to the river under our local mill.

Sorry, Olly, I meant that the people who set them free may not be with us...
I do have vague recollection of some being set free by animal rights people...
