Re; My earlier post "Koi heads off"
 

For those of you who read my posting about a month ago where my
neighbours pond had been intruded by an unknown sourse and her Koi had
been left scattered about the garden and left with their heads off! We
have identified the culprit: It is mink!!!!!!!!!! Apparantly there
have been many other cases reported in this area and the police were
informed. Mink were then seen happily jogging down the road with Koi in
their mouths.
Thank you for your replies, I think only one guy came up with Mink. Be
interested if any one else has experienced this? ps, we are in the
South West of England.

Nice to know what was causing the problem. Is there anything people can do
to keep the Mink out of their ponds?

a dam net is not going to keep a mink out of any pond. More erroneous
crap Carol? Carol will have you spending money on shit thats not even
close to being right....shows you just how smart she really is.

Neither will a dog., Get a trap and learn how to do a mink set!

traps. not even netting will keep em out, altho hot wire may. they are agile and
strong and can leap. Ingrid
