Thousands of mink in dash for freedom in Jutland



For the second time in under a week, a mink farm in Jutland has been attacked by animal rights activists, releasing some 3,000 of the animals into the wild.

The discovery was made by a food delivery driver who raised the alarm at the farm in Western Jutland’s Klosterhede Plantation. Hunters and farmers from the region were called to capture or destroy the escapees.

According to news source Politiken, local police claimed that aside from releasing the mink from their cages, surrounding fences were also damaged in order to allow the animals to flee to freedom. This is the second such incident in the area following the release of over 6,000 mink last week from a farm near Sondervig. While most of those mink have been recaptured, as many as 3,000 may have to be put down. The farms tend to find appropriate companions for individual minks to share a cage with, but on escaping to the wild the couples are inevitably broken up becoming increasingly aggressive leading to bitter infighting.

Investigations continue into eye witness sightings of a man seen to be running from the Holstebro Minkfodercentral factory to a nearby vehilce having apparently opened a silo tap releasing several tons of feed.

Sander Jacobsen of the Danish Fur Breeder Association claimed the release could result in an ecological disaster for the local area. ”The mink will try to survive and simply vacuum the area of all amphibians and small birds, and since they are not very good at surviving in this way for longer periods, they will die,” Jacobsen said.

According to The Danish Forest and Nature Agency the actions were likely to cause more damage than good. ”This type of crime is frustrating and silly. The mink are the ones that suffer, but it also affects the balance in the surrounding environment,” Consultant Jens Henrik Jakobsen claimed.

Sander Jacobsen believes the actions were in relation to an upcoming television documentary on mink farming. ”This resembles an orchestrated campaign in which extremists will stop at

Palin Resignation A Brilliant Plan Or Huge Disaster?

Palin's resignation sent rumors flying. She's been called a "loser," a "quitter," and told by the Democratic Party she's "leaving the people of Alaska high and dry..." The anti-Palin blogosphere is having a field day.

But, all and all, why did she resign? Before going deeper into the politics of it, let's first take Palin at her word. She told us she has a few reasons for stepping down, listed here:

  1. Tired Of Wasting Time/Money On Ethics Complaints Sarah made it quite clear in her resignation speech that she was tired of spending her and her staff's time on defending herself from untruthful attacks, "setting the record straight." Here's what she says: "Every one - all 15 of the ethics complaints {against me} have been dismissed. We've won! But it hasn't been cheap - the State has wasted thousands of hours of your time and shelled out some two million of your dollars to respond to "opposition research" - that's money not going to fund teachers or troopers - or safer roads. And this political absurdity, the "politics of personal destruction" ... Todd and I are looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills in order to set the record straight. And what about the people who offer up these silly accusations? It doesn't cost them a dime so they're not going to stop draining public resources - spending other peoples' money in their game."
  2. No Lame Duck! Palin also made it clear that once she had decided she was not going to run for re-election that she was not going to be a "lame duck," spending the state's time and money on frivolous and unhelpful things.
  3. Feels As Though She's Accomplished Many Things Definitely much more than most governors in their first half of a term! In her speech she cited many accomplishments, here are a few:
  • AGIA Gasline Project, "the largest private sector energy project ever," as stated by Palin.
  • Bipartisan Ethics Reform
  • "Took government out of the dairy business and put it in private sector hands"
  • Built a Sub-Cabinet on Climate Change
  • "Made common sense conservative choices to eliminate personal luxuries like the jet, the chef, the junkets... the entourage.
  • Said "no" to pay raises (herself and the lieutenant governor)

That's what Palin says about her resignation. Now let's take a look at the rumors of a "bombshell investigation," as said by her opponents. Here's what the FBI had to say: "There is absolutely no truth to those rumors that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez of Anchorage said. "It's just not true..." there is "no wiggle room!"

So much for the bombshell.

In my mind, I think governor Palin's choice was a brilliant tactical move. Here are some reasons why:

  1. She Can Speak Out and Focus On Issues She Cares About As most of you probably know, Governor Palin is working on a book. According to state ethics guidelines, as governor the things she can write about are very limited.
  2. She Saves Herself and Alaska Money As said before, attacks on Governor Palin have caused half a million dollars in legal bills for their family and even more for the state.
  3. She's Headline News! Now that the stunning news of the resignation has broken, governor Palin will be in the news for quite awhile. The more left-wing commentators scream about her, the more her sympathy vote will grow.

Of course, does all of this lead to 2012? That's a topic for another post.

Governor Palin To Resign

The latest political bombshell: the resignation of Alaska governor Sarah Palin. The move came Friday before a small crowd of reporters and family, early in the Alaskan morning. Palin's husband, Todd Palin, is quoted as saying she will soon be able to concentrate on "doing the things for Alaska and the country".

During her resignation announcement speech, governor Palin noted that her administration has done tremendous things for her state in a short time, citing the oil and gas pipeline and others. She added that nowadays, after her run as vice presidential nominee with John McCain, she spends most of her time and her staff's time defending herself and "setting the record straight." Recently she has had 15 ethics complaints filed against her, all of them dismissed.

Palin spoke heavily about how she could not get things done efficiently anymore now that tens of thousands of dollars of state dollars were being spent on defending herself from untruthful and unjust lies. Once her resignation is official and lieutenant governor Sean Parnell is sworn in, the governor will more time to focus on her family and some much needed free time out the state's rough and tumble politics.

But is her resignation a sign of buckling to pressure, or just honestly "I'm fed up!". While it might be a little bit of both, you must admit the unfair media coverage and vicious onslaughts of personal attacks have probably been at least noticed by the Palin family.

Or is this somethings different? Could it be a shrewd political move? Could Sarah Palin be eyeing 2012? We'll just have to wait and see.

Swine Flu?

Breaking: The Secretary of Human Services, former Arizona governor Janet Napolitano, has declared a U.S. public health emergency concerning the outbreak of swine flu.
