mink hunting
Mink hunting is a country sport involving the hunting of American mink with scent hounds along the waterways which make up their habitat, in a manner similar to fox hunting.〔("Mink hunting on the rise" ) BBC, 15 June 2003〕 Mink hunting took place in the countryside in the UK and Ireland, but since 2005 traditional mink hunting has been banned in England and Wales.
==Origins==
When the sport of otter hunting was given up in the British Isles in the late 1970s due to otters becoming endangered, many packs of Otterhounds converted to hunting the invasive American mink,〔 which had become established in Britain from 1950 onward, from fur farm escapees. Unsuccessful efforts to eradicate the mink led to it being widely viewed as an invasive pest in Britain〔(Management of American mink and interactions with native mustelids ), Wildlife Conservation Research Unit. Accessed 6 June 2013.〕 and in Ireland (where a bounty is paid per Mink killed).〔(Mink Bounty Notice ), National Association of Regional Game Councils (Ireland). Accessed 6 June 2013〕
