SULTAN, Wash. -- An animal rights group's plan to free 10,000 mink from a farm turned deadly after many of the emancipated mustelids became cannibals while others went on a carnivorous feeding frenzy.

About 9,000 of the freed mink have been returned to Roesler Brothers Fur Farm since the Aug. 25 break-in, but keeping them alive has been a challenge.

Normally, only siblings are caged together, but workers cannot readily determine which of the recaptured mink are related, said Kate Roesler.

``The mink are fine when they're litter mates together, but when they're not they're quite vicious and they're cannibals,'' Roesler said. ``They do eat each other, and that's what we're battling.''

Days after the break-in, starving mink attacked a menagerie of exotic birds, a flock of chickens and even a Labrador retriever.

A few mink have been seen recently eating fish along local rivers and one turned up last week at a fruit stand on the edge of this town about 40 miles northeast of Seattle.

About 1,000 are still missing.

The Animal Liberation Front claimed responsibility and the FBI is investigating. No arrests have been reported.

Fur Commission USA is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrests and convictions of those responsible.

Now that is FUCKING Hilarious!

Save the minks.. SO THEY CAN EAT EACH OTHER!

I KNOW!!! This is SOOOO fucked up!!!

These assholes let the most annoying, dangerous and fucked up animal escape and found out WHY we cage them and skin them because they're ONLY worth is being warm and fuzzy on our cold asses.

The mink is the PAIN IN THE ASS of the animal kingdom and vicious bar none.

The ONLY mink/weasle worth a fuck is the Mongoose. A mongoose is worth his weight in gold because if trained right they're one of the best pets you can have. BUT if not trained they revert back to weasles and fuck shit up.

that is classic!

I guess the concept of ecology escapes you.
