About 3,000 of the mink escaped into surrounding countryside while the other 4,000 made it to a compound outside the shed that housed their cages at a breeding farm in Staffordshire, England. Police issued a warning to the public not to approach the animals and to keep their children and pets indoors. Mink are well-known threats to domestic and wild animals.
