I'm certain issues such as this show up constantly but it will be asked by me anyway. I maintain numerous free-range chickens in a remote country region. Lately some mink were either released or escaped from the local fur farm. I can't secure my chickens but have now been provided traps to catch the mink living. If I were to capture one I'm then confronted with four options: To allow the mink to get free and kill my chickens, to return the mink to the farm where it'll be employed for its hair, to return it to the farm to enable it to be killed or to kill it myself. Many of these choices will assure suffering at some time to both the mink or chickens therefore that is the absolute most moral choice. I've been contemplating this for sometime plus a similar issue when i found bugs on my dog(!) so could be thankful for perception.
