mixed feelings about mink

[predator]

wouldn't it be nice if all animals stayed in the countries they evolved/originated in? I wonder how much diversity we'd have then. Anyway, i'm off for a pint with my mate nick griffin...

trouble with mink is they are from colder countries they get there food eat some store some for the winter which would be frozen so would keep to keep them going but in the uk its normally warm so what they take and store goes off so they take more. they are not good for our native wildlife. so need to be eradicated to save what is natural in the uk.

american signal crayfish has nearly wiped out the british crayfish EA need to get the act together and let them be hunted nice to eat.

grey squirrel tree rat does so much damage once again a usa import.

not the fault of the animal but in the wrong place.

Do you think we could truly eradicate them though? Survival of the fittest I'm afraid. Sooner or later it happens.

no they are hear to stay like the grey and the native wildlife will have to try and keep out of its way the mink. there are signs that the water vole is making a comeback like the otter. so maybe they have evolved to stay away from the mink to survive. still like to trap crayfish but need a permit.

Best news for the water vole is the growth in the otter population. Otters don't seem to tolerate mink on their patch & there's only one winner there!

Shoot & trap mink whenever the local fishermen report a sighting (not too often now otters back on Loughor).

Do you really need a permit to trap crayfish?

 

Mrs Egg had some nets on the river at the back of our house. Until some bugger chored them.

had four mink down by my boat, they were traveling between the river avon and the canal. ducklings had gone in a few days and some moorhens.

 

no more mink, a trap and mackerel heads soon sorted them.

I ONLY BROUGHT COYPU INTO THE SUBJECT AS IT WAS AS I THOUGHT INTRODUCED FOR ITS FUR AND MEAT LIKE THE MINK ETC HERES A SNIP FROM WIKKI

 

Coypu meat is lean and low in cholesterol. While many attempts have been made to establish markets for coypu meat, all documented cases have generally been unsuccessful. Unscrupulous entrepreneurs have promoted coypu and coypu farms for their value as "meat", "fur",

 

OK, STOP SHOUTING,
