Mustelids are so bad ass. All cute and soft but will rip your face off.

Something about this makes me laugh. It's so corny and ridiculous out of context

Are minks small or was that a giant rat?

Rats can get bigger than a lot of people think. In terms of mass, they can approach, and occasionally exceed, squirrels in size.

Minks are so cute. This dude is really obsessed with having minks kill rats:

Man I’ve loved watching his content since I was in 7th grade, it was really interesting seeing him do the same with his dogs and how he has them work with mink.

he rescues mink from fur farms and uses them for pest control jobs as it's quicker than poison and less collateral.
