Trappers wanted to catch mink as agency aims to protect endangered species

The team will be engaged by the National Parks and Wildlife Service to catch the animals in riverside traps. The mink will be captured in live traps set close to the nesting sites of protected birds. They have been instructed to trap mink and kill them “humanely”.
This is the sixth year that the NPWS has sought tenders for the trapping of animals such as feral mink, grey crows and foxes.
