Ireland hunting down thousands of escaped minks

DUBLIN — The roads and rivers of northwest Ireland are suddenly lined with mink.
Managers at Anderson's Mink Farm said Wednesday that many of their cages and fences were cut and opened over the weekend, freeing an estimated 5,000 animals into the wilds of County Donegal. About 28,000 others declined the invitation to bolt for freedom.
More than 100 already have been recaptured by hunters using cage traps, while several hundred others have been run over and killed. Drivers have reported seeing groups of the farm-reared animals standing, dazzled by headlights, in the middle of busy roads.
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.
"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.
Agricultural authorities warned that the surviving minks could decimate local populations of salmon, rabbits and fowl.
Animal rights activists in Ireland have denied responsibility — but are praising whoever did it.
"We have nothing to do with it. However, I commend whoever risked their freedom to do this as these animals have a horrendous life," said Bernie Wright, spokeswoman for Ireland's Alliance for Animal Rights.

Mink are an introduced species with no predators as such, they will absolutely trash the local population of native wildlife in that area before they spread out.
The mink population in Ireland is already exploding and these animal rights idiots release 1000's of them into the wild with no concept on how much damage they are going to do.....well done guys, great way to wreck the place.
Seriously how fucking stupid do you have to be to do something like this, they obviously have degrees in being retarded
Animal Rights my ass they are nothing but environmental criminals who deserve 7 layers of shit kicked out of them..
