Activists Release Tortured Flesh
5,000 mink escape from northwest Irish farm
"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."

I smell a rat here, or is it a dead mink? Anybody claimed this yet? What if the mink farm was overstocked - couldn't get enough customers due to the worldwide economic collapse, and decided to scam the insurance and pin the blame on activists.
Your cynical, cynical mind.
Actually animal liberationists declined responsibility.
Your conspiration addled mind certainly holds water.
