HINSDALE — More than 300 mink are still running loose in the Hinsdale hills after 400 to 500 of the valuable weasellike creatures were released from their cages early yesterday morning at Berkshire Furs, a mink farm on Route 143. Earl Carmel, who owns the mink farm with his wife, Jeanne, is certain that animal-rights activists, whom he calls "antis" or "anti-fur people," are to blame for the farm's loss. "Who else would have done it?" he asked.
Carmel's grandson, Daniel Carmel, reported the mink farm break-in to the Hinsdale Police Department at 3:34 a.m.
According to Officer Ben Pigott, Carmel was on his way to work at a local dairy farm when "he saw that a few mink were running around his truck."
The mink were part of the Carmels' breeding stock — between 400 and 500 — that had been set free from cages kept in the front of the farm....continued... www.berkshireeagle.com/headlines/ci_6617887
