*How can blind man with a seeing-eye minky, be a lookout?*

Two animal-rights activists have been charged in California with terrorizing the fur industry during cross-country road trips — including in Minnesota — two years ago in which they released about 5,740 mink from fur farms and vandalized the homes and businesses of operators.
The October 2013 spree left losses in Minnesota, the nation’s fifth-largest mink producer, and neighboring Wisconsin. Hundreds of mink were set loose from a southeastern Minnesota ranch, just days after Wisconsin fur farm owners scrambled to catch their own mink with fishing nets following a similar action that they called “devastating” to their operations.
The four-generation Myhre ranch east of Grand Meadow, Minn., was targeted in the 2013 attack. Workers, friends and fellow farmers helped retrieve about 450 animals. Farmers said escaped mink tend to either fail to survive or get sick from their time in the wild. Each mink is worth about $100, authorities said after the 2013 incidents.
In Friday’s arrests, 31-year-old Joseph Brian Buddenberg and 28-year-old Nicole Juanita Kissane, of Oakland, Calif., were apprehended in Oakland by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.
A federal grand jury indictment unsealed Friday says they caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage during 40,000 miles of cross-country trips over the summer of 2013.
Buddenberg and Kissane are under house arrest with electronic monitoring until a scheduled court date Tuesday.

And they don’t care about breaking the law and they don’t care about hurting people or animals ...
One doesn’t see “mink-freeing spree” in a headline every day.
“Let’s save the animals by killing them!”
Stink-spewing free?
Probably ... mink are closely related to polecats.
“I’ll say this for the Lefties: They understand how easy it is to take direct action and have an effect. “
Always easier to upset the apple cart and destroy stuff. Perhaps these folks should take on the mob and local gangs. See how long they live...
I hope they have to stay in a mink lined jail cell.
Spevrand Rooner hates colepats.

.....and ferrets.
What ever happened to the poster we had ...*back in the day* called *ferret*? His posts would incite riots for days on the boards. Great times, great fun.
Sorry....I digress.
Thousands of mink, living the rest of their lives, short ones, starving.
How very compassionate of the liberators.
Do you mean “stoat”? He was fun!
Good one!
No not dear stoat. Stoat was from Seattle, IIRC.
I see he hasn’t posted in a while : 2/21/2015
Hope he’s OK. ;(
Ferret was originally from Connecticut...and settled in the upper mid-west [maybe in the logging industry or somesuch] .....shaking heavy cobwebs from brains. He had a tree-hugger mentality and argued with such fervor and tenacity....it was great fun.

They’re willing to do the time and deal,with the fines, too. Maybe because unlike conservatives, they don’t have families or careers to worry about. So they’ve little to lose. Of course, in this case, all they’ve done is maybe drive up the price of mink, which is not a popular item these days.
My daughter is in Seattle again. If Stoat is still out there, maybe she could take him to a bar.
I don’t think I knew Ferret.
I think it was during the wild-and-wooly early days [’98-ish ]of Badeye, TwoDees, Some Texan-guy I can’t recall the handle, Inge-Cav, Cagey
Maybe B4 your time. You young-un!
I know, only 2002 for me. I found FR on a link from Townhall.com, back when you could read Townhall without your computer crashing.
Funny, my 9-year-old just passed by and said, “Mink-freeing spree?” It’s a phrase with zing!
