At the moment the only animals I own are two very well behaved and spoiled cats who are like family to us. But if I were to raise meat rabbits to help provide for my family, I would expect anyone else to mind their own gosh darn business! How I provide for my family is my concern, not any bleeding heart animal activists'. If I want to harvest the meat, bone, intestines and FUR to help provide my family's needs, then no one else should have any say in the matter so long as I wasn't neglecting my rabbits.
I have a lot of respect for native American Indian tribes who use to harvest every little last bit of the bison. They honor the animal by not wasting any of it. Any little part that could not be used by people went to other animals like dogs. Or helped in gardening. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!
Now killing animals, only for their hides, and adding a ton of waste to the environment, doing nothing else with the rest of the animal, now that's wrong. The least you could do is market it as dog and cat food or something.. Just not waste. Honor the animal by using all of it. Not just the hide.
Several billion people on the planet. Resources are going to start to get scarce. Honor the resources we have now. Because I know I'm wasting my breath when I suggest (for our future) its humans that need to be controlled when it comes to population, not animals. -
EASY. kill all the mink in places where it is an invasive species and stop wearing their skin.

Tax the animal rights groups for the environmental damage they're causing by releasing mink. Make them pay the cost of exterminating the pests. I'll bet they'll stop their foolishness quick.

All countries need to protect domestic species. We've still not figured out how everything fits together.

Stupid activists.
Well, let me clearify, releasing farmed animals is in my opinion a good idea... when they're native and able to survive. For example, people have released mink in America and Canada and I say good for them! However, I'm assuming these (the ones in Denmark) activists are either vegan or hypocrites, so by even their own standards they shouldn't value a fur farmed mink's life over all of the species that it could kill off in the wild when it becomes invasive from those releases. I'm all for animals rights/liberation activism, but I think many activists take it too far or go about it the wrong way. Not consuming meat, egg, dairy, honey, fur, wool, skin, or silk products, educating the public, helping animals through sanctuaries and awareness, trying to change laws, THAT is activism. Becoming violent or decimating wild animal populations because you lack foresight and self control is not a good or affective form of activism at all. -
Sick people who live off the misery of living creature. Go get a frikin' real job!

It's important to be aware of the consequences of your actions. Even something that may seem to be a noble act within your framework of thought can have unintended consequences.
Freeing farm animals into the wild does more harm than good. -
I LOVE THE HEROS WHO LET THE POOR THINGS FREE

this is very bad

At what point do we declare the use of mink as inhumane, or the raising and eating of beef, or pigs for ham and bacon? IMHO, we have gone way too far in giving human emotions and stature to very simple animals, who can be used to feed and c
