The Danish government said on Friday (27) that it is ready to exhume and burn the bodies of millions of minkes hastily buried after being euthanized as part of the fight against covid-19.
Millions of these animals died because they could be the cause of a mutation in the new coronavirus that is potentially problematic for humans.
Then they were mostly buried in mass graves.
“I wanted to get rid of the mink and burn it from the first day I found out,” new Agriculture Minister Rasmus Prehn told public TV2 TV, taking the position of most parties in Parliament.
Politicians fear that decomposing animal carcasses cause phosphorus and nitrogen pollution, and are demanding that they be dug up and destroyed in other ways, including incineration.
Gases released from decomposition can, for example, contaminate drinking water and bathing water.
In early November, Denmark announced the slaughter of its more than 15 million minks, due to a mutation of the coronavirus through these mustelid mammals. According to preliminary studies, the mutation could threaten the effectiveness of the future vaccine for humans.
Two weeks after raising the alarm – and in the midst of a political crisis linked to the lack of legal basis for the decision to massacre them, which led to the resignation of the Minister of Agriculture – the government came to the conclusion that this possible threat to the vaccines were “probably extinct” as no new cases had been detected.
In Holstebro, in the west of the country, corpses have reappeared from a makeshift mass grave on military grounds, highlighting the conditions in which slaughtered animals were buried in risk areas (contaminated or adjacent to contaminated animals).
It was also found that they were buried 200 meters from a lake, 100 meters less than recommended.
The agriculture minister warned that any final decision on incineration of the mink could only be made with the approval of the environmental agency.
According to the latest balance sheet, more than 10 million minks have been slaughtered.
