Have you ever wondered what happens to a mink once it's fur has gone to make something fashionable?
This job posting (May 11, 2007 - the link may expire) for an "Environmental Researcher" may give you a clue:
"Spec Environmental Solutions Inc. (SPEC) belongs to the Spectacle Lake group of companies located in Concession, Digby Co., NS. SPEC operates a commercial composting site serving the local mink farming industry by processing organic waste by-products from approx. 1,000,000 mink per year."Three things strike me about this. First is the huge number of animals. Second is the fact that Spectacle Lake seem to make no mention of this side of their business on their website. Third, they use their construction company to 'hide' the trucking of the carcases:
"Spectacle Lake Concrete & Excavating Limited does all the trucking and marketing for the composting facility."I guess it's not something they are not proud of?
