[Miranda_]

I know about mink... and I also know that, thanks to the Animal Liberation Front, who released loads of vicious mink into the wild, that several birds, pet dogs and cats, lambs and even some children were attacked by the savage beasts.

In any case, we're more civilised now, so there is no need whatsoever to kill animals for their fur. We might as well bring back bear baiting or c'ock fighting, or solving arguments with our neighbours by going round there and hitting them with clubs.
