Welcome to the group. leonardcrowin !

I'm afraid I can't offer you any answers to your question other than possibly trying to make your hens more secure. If one mink has escaped, others may follow.

However, I doubt it can be considered ethical to return animals to the kind of life they have on fur farms before ending up as a dead fashion item worn by rich women.

Please take a moment to have a look at the photos of caged animals in a mink farm on Tsem Tulku Rinpoche's website at the link below.

One of my students, Jamie Khoo (liaison and senior editor in KMP), sent this to me over Facebook. It shows us how even people from a civilized and developed country can participate in such cruel and inhumane acts towards animals.

A lot of people think that these type of treatment towards animals only happens in less developed nations. They blame it on limited education, harsh living conditions….with a lucrative market to drive them to such terrible things.

This is clearly untrue. As long as there is a demand and a market for ANIMAL FUR, people (regardless of race etc) will supply…animals will be killed..animals will suffer.
