Animal liberationists in Greece released 50,000 minks last week, most of whom are expected to die from excessive joy (or overheating). The San Francisco Chronicle has a photo of some minks that have already become road kill.

Leading animals to certain doom may seem like a counterproductive move for people with an alleged interest in saving animals, but if the liberators were more concerned with minks being cooped up than minks dying painful deaths, the action makes sense. As “Anonymous” commented at This Dish is Veg: “Regardless it’s better to die in freedom than live in prison.”

Which means vegans now have to be okay with hunting.
