    About 20 years ago there were mink set free, I was at school at the time but my parents were at home on the farm, one mink attacked and killed a lot of our laying hens.
    My father had to kill the mink, he went into the house housing the hens, closed the door behind, he said the mink when cornered was ready to attack him, he killed it with a swipe of a strong piece of rope and it let off a really bad smell.

    Around the same time, the neighbours saw a litter of them in a field so they had started to breed.

    I don't know what the person or people involved were thinking, these animals were better off where they were rather than having them free to do untold damage.
    I feel sorry for the area affected, apart from the local ecology which will be affected, the locals there better watch out if they keep poultry or any other creature that are vunerable to mink attacks.
