Minks on loose in PA recently.

Why anyone would risk going to jail just to do that is beyond me!!

Probably some PETA-type activity.

It's been 3 months, wonders if there were any updates on the situation?

Many of the "activist" types have no common sense and no concept of the effects of their actions. "Free the poor animals" doesn't equate in their minds with "Domesticated animals starve to death" or "get run over by cars." Consequences are meaningless. Faced with the stark reality, they deny it and call it propaganda. "The animals are better off free, their instincts will..." blah, blah, blah.

It's far easier to free an animal than to address the market that makes this a viable and very lucrative business.

I wrote a thread with an update on what's going on with the escaped mink. Check it out if you were wondering.

You are correct. There was other ways this person/persons could have gone about this.

Yeah, they don’t think and it’s sad.

It's not fair for the minks and not fair for people with small animals.
