A mink runs past dead animals on a road in Hiliodendro, near the northern Greek city of Kastoria earlier today. More than 50,000 minks were set loose in the area on Friday and Saturday, after raids by suspected animal rights activists on two fur farms. Greece’s The National Fur Breeders’ Association said most of the released animals are likely to die, adding that the cost to the farm owners could pass Euros 1 million ($1.27 million) despite an effort to recover the animals.

Nice. Turn them loose to die.
Looks like there’s enough on the road for a nice scarf and maybe a pair of matching gloves.

Wouldn’t it be funny if somebody ‘stole’ a mink?
