(KWNO)-No one is claiming responsibility for releasing thousands of mink in western Wisconsin last weekend. The Trempealeau County Sheriff’s Office said it took place sometime late Friday night and early Saturday morning in the town of Lincoln. As many as 3,000 mink were released after somebody gained entry to their enclosure by cutting a hole in a chain link fence. The property owners are still trying to recapture the escaped link and don’t know how many are still missing, according to a press release. The investigation is ongoing and the sheriff’s office is asking anyone with a similar farm to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.
