I know that some folks find “rational animal rights activitists” to be an oxymoron, but, still … you’d think the folks who “freed” a bunch of minks<\/a> from a fur farm in Iowa would realize the critters aren’t adapted to life in the wilds thereabouts, leaving them, or the vast majority, to die a grisly death on highways, from predators, or just plain ol’ starving.<\/p>\n

Of course, if they were <\/i>capable of surviving there, they might also seriously frell up the local ecosystem.<\/p>\n
