Four days ago over 4000 minks were let loose from a breeding farm at Saint-Cybranet (Dordogne), in a "hostile act". I would like to rather call it an act of mercy or and act of kindness or an act of humanity, but unfortunately releasing these animals into the wild is not necessarily in their best interest: By the time about 3000 of them had been recaptured, there were already more than 200 that had died our in the wild where they had no resources of their own to survive.

The local prefecture maintains that they would rather trap and kill the remaining minks than leave them in the wild "where they will only de-stabilise the local eco-system". Around fifty volunteers came to help set traps for the remaining animals.
