Animal activists argue that while the farm animals' deaths are unfortunate, it proves minks raised in captivity can survive in the wild.

*Just being a dumb old country girl, I never realized farms (and the fenced-in animals) were considered "in the wild".

From a response to the newsarticle, on the Yahoo messageboard:

"It is natural for animals to kill each other. It is not natural for men to kill animals.

"Besides, some species are meant to be food ... To deny them the right to be eaten alive by a starving mink is to deny them fulfilling their potential."

The charming thing about the more egregious illogic is it tends to correct itself simply by its absurd inner contradictions.

I'm an animal.
Being lazy, but smart, I hire others to kill my animals for me to eat,
