Thirty thousand minks will be euthanized due to three specimens that were found weakly positive for Coronavirus. This is what the animals raised on the Mi.Fo de Capralba farm in the Cremona area will have to suffer in the coming days. The owner of the company, Giovanni Boccù, 70, commented on the decision in this way: “I cried all morning, forty years of work in the smoke with enormous economic damage.” The notification came on Monday, November 23.

After rubbing the other seven and all the minks in the 25 houses, the results had established that two of the small animals had contracted the virus weakly, while at the end of October a third, always weakly positive, had been found infected. “Everything burns for an ideology, not because there is a disease here”, thundered Boccù in an interview with Corriere della sera. The owner of the company is convinced that the health authorities are not taking measures to protect public health, “because if I were positive here, I would raise my hand immediately, since people’s health comes first,” he says. Boccù refers to the decision of the Ministry of Health that ordered the slaughter of minks found positive in Covid, as well as those who live with them. The species can transmit the infection to humans.

Among the specimens that will be slaughtered and, later, burned, there are also 7,600 reproducers. The economic damage is estimated in millions of euros.” They destroyed our pride, dignity and work, “he added later, heartbroken. , Boccù The pillory of the cute little animals should arrive tomorrow, Tuesday, December 1, through an external company.
