South China Morning Post published this video item, entitled “Denmark to cull all 15 million minks on fur farms to contain spread of mutated coronavirus” – below is their description.
Denmark has ordered more than a quarter of a million people into lockdown and a mass cull of minks after a mutated variation of the coronavirus was found at farms raising the animals for their fur. The lockdown in the country’s north started November 6, 2020, two days after the government ordered the cull of all 15 million minks bred at Denmark’s 1,139 mink farms. Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the move was meant to avoid the risk of further transmission of the disease from minks that were originally infected after exposure to humans with the virus. The Scandinavian country is the world’s biggest producer of mink fur, but disease experts fear the new strain could undermine the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines now in development.
