Leaf-blower becomes precision-guided weapon for mink catchers in Porkkalanniemi

Let me see if I've got this straight: feral mink arrived from North America in the 1920s. The mink have no natural enemies and so are a danger to birds and other wildlife. Some farmers have captured the mink for fur. Animal-rights activists freed the mink, which, in turn, sent mink-hunters, armed with leaf-blowers, to capture the wild beasts.

I'll let you figure out who to root for.
