Sir, - This is just to correct one small bit of misleading information regarding mink in the otherwise excellent article written by Sean Mac Connell (April 13th). Mink are very easily trapped in cages with fish or cat-food as bait, probably as easily as is a mouse with a piece of cheese.
As stated in the article, they do considerable damage to wildlife including fish stocks. - Yours, etc., John Smyth,
Connaught Street, Birr, Co Offaly.
