ICONDEMN the captivity and breeding of mink for their fur. But I do not condone the action of freeing imprisoned mink by animal rights activists.
This caused havoc and death among wild birds at a nearby sanctuary, awaiting release to their habitat. While I understand their wish to free animals from the needless cruelty of man, their tactics only cause the public to be unsympathetic to animal welfare.
