I live in one of the towns were the mink were let out years back. Over fifty percent of them died by being run over on the highway. The local who owned the place went belly up and had to lay off his workers. In the end a stupid ass move in a state were corporate farms are destroying family owned ones... The mink are now being raised by a much larger more cruel group. A lesson to be learned here think before you act, Oh thanks for setting the animal rights movement back twenty years here.
Anyway the jail time behind this is fucked up. Just please people take down corporate farms, it will help us in the upper mid-west instead of hurt us.
