Mink coats, clothing
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
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.
The Sable provided the fur for the costs for Kings and Emperors. Other animals that provided coats were foxes, minks, and raccoons.
Minks do, indeed, have a tail
No. White minks are only a domestic color phase of the mink, and, minks are not endangered.
Thousands. Minks are not endangered.
The same reason you can't stop trees from being cut down. The same reason little Minks are made into coats... its a legal business AND there is a public demand for it.
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.
The Stolen Minks was created in 2003.
are minks a good pet NOOOO
