      Since the U.S. weighs in money, here’s my math:

      Well, there are 6,000 to 8,000 minks in a shitton (article estimation of released mink number courtesy of OP),

      approximately 8 mink pelts in a mink (guess based on lifespan?),

      CAD$26 in a mink pelt (source),

      0.58 pound sterling to CAD in 2020 (source),

      and 1 short ton in 2000 pounds

      = 349 liveweight short ton

        My thought was more like, a mink shits so much per day, so a ton of shit means so much tons of mink. But thanks for the research!

        Ah shit, now to convert short ton to metric ton.
