I agree!
It’s not just letting them escape, for the first few years they did outrageous stuff, like pile all the dead mink carcasses in a heap and created a plague of flies that attacked the town. It was insane. Like black clouds on peoples houses. People couldn’t go outside.
And even now, when the wind blows from the North all we smell is the stench of mink poop and rot. It’s so bad.
That place makes me all kinds of sad. Some of the escaped mink will walk up to you like a lost puppy, expecting to be fed because they’re so domesticated. Breaks my heart.
So messed up!! I remember reading that a bunch of mink were culled (nice way to misspell killed to make it sound less barbaric) at the beginning of the pandemic because they thought they were carrying coronavirus. The mink industry just needs to be shut down. It's all kinds of wrong.
