The mink should not have been in cramped cages under cruel conditions in the first place.

When I saw this thread, that was my first thought. I couldn't care less about the finances of the mink farmers. I do care very much about the appalling conditions in which they are raised - with the sole aim of killing them later for their fur.

This article is mainly about Chinese mink farms, but in Europe and elsewhere (Russia and USA) the conditions are not much better:

This is what we should be concerned about, not the finances of mink farmers.
