As many as 8,000 mink are on the loose after escaping from a Pennsylvania farm — posing a serious threat to wildlife and pets in the community.
An unknown vandal crept onto the Rockefeller Township fur farm sometime between midnight and 7 a.m. Sunday to cut holes in the fence surrounding the enclosure, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Between 6,000 and 8,000 mink scurried from their pens and into the wooded community, about 85 miles northwest of Allentown.
