Hundreds of mink on the run in County Donegal

Extract from BBC:
Hundreds of mink on the run in County Donegal
A mink The mink were being farmed in the Meenavalley area
Hundreds of mink have escaped from a farm in Ardara in County Donegal.
The mink were being farmed in the Meenavalley area.
It is thought someone cut wire securing the animals' cages and let them out.
Local farmers have been advised to be on the lookout for the mink.
Connie Anderson, the owner of the mink farm, described those repsonsible for letting the creatures escape as 'animal terrorists'.
The Secretary of the Sliabh League Angling Club, Noel Carr, said that it would unleash a "terrible" environmental problem on south-west Donegal.
He said the mink will need food, and salmon will be an easy target.

Well all I can say is how stupid to let them out - the ones that we have on the river (which were let out some years ago) and sadly found their way here, have caused the complete anihilation of the water voles, fish and heavens knows what else.
I wish people would think carefully before they do such things.
