About 50 million minks are killed on fur farms each year, smaller amounts are hunted in the wild.
Yes. Minks are killed by predators for food and humans hunt minks to extinction for their fur and meat. Minks are also endangered because of habitat loss
Thousands. Minks are not endangered.
American minks have about four to five kits per litter once a year. But some may have 7 to 8 per litter. European minks gives birth to four to six per litter
Ranch raised mink are dispatched by having an electrode inserted in their rectum. This leaves an undamaged pelt.
minks are carnivores and they are strict carnivores, if there are edible plants to many animals they wont eat it and they would rather starve to death
Minks do, indeed, have a tail
1 bear is killed each year
Because of their fur; it is used to make fur coats which were extremely popular in the 1940's. Many of them were killed and obviously havent regained enough numbers for the species to not be endangered anymore.
No. White minks are only a domestic color phase of the mink, and, minks are not endangered.
about 700 a year
The mink farm accident...I shall answer this to the best of my knowledge. Basically, what happened was there was a mink farm who were breeding minks and when the minks were full grown, they would kill and skin them for their furs. An animal rights protestor went to the farm and released all the minks but because the farm was in a place where minks weren't native to the country, when the minks were released, they went and killed so much wildlife, that it caused greater damage then the killing of those minks would have. So in a way, the idea wasn't that clever since animal rightists should be thinking if their form of protesting will actually help the environment or just make matters worse.
No sea minks are notextinct. i saw one 1 month ago no regular mink many may be dead but some live
