The spreading of COVID-19 at mink farms has been recorded in multiple countries, including the Netherlands, the US, Italy, and Sweden. In November 2020, Denmark “culled” 17 million mink following outbreaks of COVID at more than 200 fur farms.
The outbreaks led some countries and states to ban fur farming. But approximately 100 million animals are still farmed for fur each year – most of whom are mink.
Did not know this. Interesting, and a damn good reason to regulate the practice much more tightly, if not outlaw it completely.
