The Animal Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for raiding a fur farm in Jefferson on Monday, releasing mink and destroying breeding records.
The front, described by the government as one of the nation's leading domestic terrorist organizations, wrote that it freed about 40 domesticated mink from the Jefferson Fur Farm to give them a chance at survival. The note was signed ALF-Cascadia.
"These animals are not capitalist commodities to be bought and sold for fashion or vanity, but unique individuals deserving of liberation from human exploitation," said the note, released today by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office in Los Angeles.
"Even if some of the mink do not make it, we feel it is better to die free, than at the hands of their speciesist captors."
The participants warned that they would return if the fur farm was not dismantled.
The Fur Commission USA, an industry group that represents fur farmers, reported that more than 50 mink were taken, but all were recovered.
The FBI and local law enforcement were investigating, the commission said.

So these geniuses released a bunch of domesticated mink into the wild where they'll starve to death or be predated upon by real wild animals. How does this advance the safety and rights of these animals?

I think I remember reading that mink a VERY teritorial animals, and after a similar “liberation” a few years ago, hundreds of mink lay dead, ripped apart by their fellows because you can only have so many mink per square mile.

Many of these alf and elf nutjobs have college degrees but don’t have the sense God gave a turnip.

"Even if some of the mink do not make it, we feel it is better to die free, than at the hands of their speciesist captors."That's dangerous territory, Weasel Boy...some people think that enviro-terrorists are best shot on sight. Of, course, I'm sure you'd gladly die for your beliefs.

It’s a shame they didn’t go after the ones that released them. :)

All their ‘efforts’ were for naught.
“The Fur Commission USA, an industry group that represents fur farmers, reported that more than 50 mink were taken, but all were recovered.”

I hereby tender my application as full time security.
All I require is a clear field of fire and an open ended ammunition budget.

So, the minks are individuals for whom you make decisions? Are they your children, mentally handicapped? What? What part of their individualism makes them unable to make their own decisions?

For any thread participants who are unaware: "Cascadia" is the name the ALF and other terrorist groups use to describe the Pacific Northwest.
They are secessionists who advocate a separate nation bordered on its east by the Cascade Mountains.

I wonder how many of these smelly, diseased maggots have taken their skank girlfriends in for abortions after accidentally knocking them up?
