Animal rights activist group anonymously claims responsibility for release of mink

An anonymous group of animal rights activists say they’re the ones who attacked a mink farm near St. Marys.

A message was sent to the North American Animal Liberation Press Office on Tuesday.

It reads: “As many as 1,600 mink were released from cages at the Glenwood Fur Farm (4216 Perth Line 9) in St. Marys, Ontario late on May 30. According to media reports, fencing that surrounds the farm was cut and a gate opened. Animals in two sheds were released, and breeding cards removed.”

The Perth County OPP is investigating and is asking anyone with information to get in touch with them by calling at 1-888-310-1122 or (519) 348-9700 or to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
