In November, the Danish government decided to bury the more than 15 million weasels for their fur in the country after the animal was found to have spread Covid-19.
About 4 million weasels are buried in a military area in the western part of the country. However, shortly after that, the decay gas built up and pushed some of the weasels above the ground, according to Reuters.
Many objections were also raised about the risk of water contamination when the burial pit is only about 200 meters from a lake.

According to a plan approved by the Danish parliament on December 20, these weasels will be dug up in May 2021 and burned because they are later believed to be virus-free.
Denmark is the world’s leading exporter of mink, serving the haute couture industry. The government of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen strongly opposes parliament and industry insiders for the destruction of mink.
However, Ms Frederiksen and many experts consider the slaughter decision appropriate because the variant of the Corona virus that causes Covid-19 in mink can be highly contagious and affect the Danish vaccination effort.
