There are an estimated 10,000 carnivorous minks on the loose in a rural town after a vandal opened their cages.
Around 25,000 to 40,000 minks were set loose at Lion Farms in Northwest Ohio, US, at around 4am on Monday with thousands having lost their lives after crossing a nearby road.
According to Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas Riggenbach there were so many minks killed that a plough had to be brought in to help clear-up the dead animals.
