Are not all minks carnivorous? Why did they add that to the headline?

  You wouldn’t have been scared enough.

  It’s a sly way to add emotional effect by enforcing the possibility that they’ll pose a risk to animals in the area. With news being predominantly digital no one is worried about how much space a headline takes, HTML metadata can even present an alternative headline for social media, no worries about space on the printed page or ink. So pack on the emotionally charged, pressure cooked rhetoric.

      Well apparently they'll just get mowed down by cars
