Mink aren't rodents, except perhaps in a pejorative sense.

They're members of the same family as weasels, ferrets and wolverines.

I wonder what the chance of one of them tackling a small child is?

They will attack anything if they are hungry. Since they are not native and wild, they are a major threat to everything living in the area.

If I had a farm or pets or kids in that neighborhood, I'd have a little chat with that idiot veterinarian.

Yes, the mink [le vison] is a member in good standing of the Axis of Weasels [l'Axe de belettes].

They're members of the same family as weasels, ferrets and wolverines.

Trivia bonus: Skunks are also in this family.
