Greek police have reported that two fur farms in Katoria were broken into over the weekend and 50,000 minks were released. Kastoria is the epicenter of Greece’s fur industry.
Currently no group has claimed responsibility for the incident. A group called “Hawks of Reprisal” claimed responsibility for a similar break in last year.
Unfortunately most of the animals are likely to die in the late August heat, according to The National Fur Breeder’s Association. The Association states the cost to the farm owners could be up to $1.27 million.
