The mink may end up making badgers,otters and even wolverines look bad.My neighbor observed a mink eating his bees(what does that?) entering his hives so i looked the little rascal up. This guy only weighs 2-3 pounds. www.creaturecontrol.net/Mink

A mink will eat most fresh things that don't eat him first. But, they are not the bad guys some people make them out to be. Sometimes one will become a nuisance, but they usually don't bother people until their numbers are too high.

LOL Foxtail. Tell that to the dozen ducks I used to have. Damned minks got into their pen and killed every one of them.

Minks not good for animal keepers.It kills just to kill. Most of the time a mink will only kill what it wants to eat. Though, sometimes there will be one that kills everything in the enclosure. Chickens, ducks, pigeons, rabbits. Coon do that too. They only seem to display this blood lust when the prey is confined. Unconfined, the mink would use too much energy killing just for the sake of killing. Housecats on the other hand.......
