State Senator Lynda Schlegel Culver and State Representative Michael Stender have announced the establishment of a hotline for residents to report loose minks in Rockefeller Township. This follows the release of thousands of minks from a local farm.
The Northumberland County Emergency Management Agency, along with the county chief clerk and county commissioners, has set up this phone line. Residents can call 570-988-4217 if they find a mink on their property.
Residents who manage to catch a mink should take it to Sunbury Animal Hospital located at 3920 State Route 890, Sunbury. If a dead mink is found, it should be reported to the Pennsylvania Game Commission at either 833-742-4868 (833-PGC-HUNT) or 833-742-9453 (833-PGC-WILD).
Authorities warn that live minks can be dangerous and may bite if approached. It is advised not to attempt capturing them without proper traps.
