Proponents and opponents have differing opinions on what mink bill in Illinois aims to do
Ranched mink are frequently mentioned in Illinois Outdoor News’ Fur Market Reports, as farmed mink have a direct impact on wild fur markets.
But mink ranching is now in the news in the state for a different reason. Although the industry has self-imposed guidelines farmers adhere to in order to sell their pelts legally, mink farming is not regulated at the federal level or in Illinois. But a bill in play in Springfield could change that.
