The decision was made to kill some 15 million animals in Denmark last month after a viral mutation threatened the effectiveness of vaccines:
if the mutated mink pathogen spreads to humans, a whole new public health situation would emerge.
The World Health Organization (WHO) also raised the alarm: Animals had contracted the virus from humans, had mutated in them, and feared it would spread to humans in a new way.
They are also enchanted in their dead.
However, many corpses cannot be burned at once, so some of them have been grounded en masse in military training areas in the western part of the Jutland peninsula. However, concerns have been raised as to why
Animals have been excavated near lakes and drinking water supplies underwater, decomposing carcasses can contaminate land and groundwater. The concern does not appear to have been unfounded. the Danish Environment Agency has stated that the groundwater may already be contaminated.
The rush to deforestation is also well reflected in the fact that some of the corpses, which were covered in pits only two meters deep, literally slid out of the ground. During decomposition, gases are formed, which increase the volume of the carcasses, pushing them to the surface.
Another problem is the number of minks slaughtered and the fact that the authorities did not necessarily cooperate to remove the carcasses.
At the moment, the Danish Ministry of Agriculture has no idea where a million and a half minks have turned up. they weigh about 4,700 tons.
Many little things do a lot
If we quantify the total mass of 15 million minks, approximately 47,000 tons of carcasses had to be disposed of in some way.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, 11 million minks have been killed so far, which is equivalent to some 31,000 tonnes, writes the Danmarks Radio website.
In these mass graves
- There are 10,000 400 tons of mink carcasses,
- an additional 14,000 tons were processed in fur factories,
- Two thousand tons have been incinerated and another 300 tons await to be incinerated in freezers. Know a total of 26 thousand 700 tons of mink channels.
Agriculture Minister Rasmus Prehn admitted: They do not know what happened to the remaining 4,700 tonnes.
