MINK RELEASE -- A national organization -- The Fur Commission USA -- is offering a $10-thousand reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of whoever released as many as 40,000 mink from an Eden Valley area fur farm. A spokesman for the group says they've been working with other area ranchers to help rescue the surviving mink. But the group expects many of the released mink will die in the wild from exposure and dehydration.
