APhoto Of The Day — 9.1.10

Yeah, I know, I published this photo as a stand-alone Monday. But it deserves more than that — like APhoto of the Day honors. Here, a  mink runs past dead animals on a road in Hiliodendro, Greece Monday. 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. As you can see, other minks didn’t make it. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/Nikolas Giakoumidis)

Top Cutlines:

  • 1. Sadly, numerous mink go from treasured furs to just another Greece spot — JohnA.
  • 2. You will laugh, cry, and probably throw up in your mouth when you see this summer’s blockbuster thriller “My Big, Fat, Greek Mink Massacre” — Hereford.
  • 3. Question: Why did the mink cross the road? — Herb.

Road Kill, Mink Style

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.
