Danish Prime Minister visited one kennel in Kolding, in the western part of the country, whose animals were euthanized, while the government did not have an adequate legal basis to eradicate healthy mink.

“It is important to remember that it will not be because of the breeders, it will be because of the coronavirus, if the industry cannot continue to function,” he added, referring to a “moving” visit.
Fredericksen announced in early November the slaughter of all minks in the country, due to a mutation in the new coronavirus detected in these animals, which, according to preliminary research, could threaten the effectiveness of a future vaccine for humans.

More than two-thirds of the estimated 15-17 million minks have already been killed, according to the latest report.
