It's gross. In previous mink "rescues", the commercially raised and suddenly released minks don't know squat about survival. Male minks will attack each other trying to establish territory, and minks that invade nearby farms will kill any chickens, etc. Minks that run across roads/highways can be squashed, and the minks that run off into forests will most probably starve to death, or killed by other animals. This is not about "Free Willy", this means the cruel death of almost all the "freed" minks.
We can debate all day long about commercially raising minks for future fur coats, but letting these cage critters loose to die in a number of horrible ways is not glorious at all.
