The mink development in Denmark is disturbing. Not only because few of us were aware of these farms but also because the cull of millions of minks has echoes of what we did with chickens, cows, badgers and numerous other animals. It seems that culling is humanity's way of protecting itself from mutating infections. Two questions remain. How long is it before culling infected humans starts? Of course that might have meant both Boris and Trump would have been removed months ago, so there are positives to the policy. Second - will the mink skins be destroyed or will coats be made from them, mostly shipped, I notice, to China, probably including Wuhan? What goes around comes around, especially in the Wonderland we appear to have created. I wish George Orwell was still around. Didn't he once write a book about Animal Farms?

The precedent has now been set that we must kill any animals that may potentially have a Covid mutation harmful to one species of obese ape.

Even when hundreds of people, as in Denmark, have contracted the mutated version and it is already in the human chain.

Watch nations now jostle to outcompete on this one. "This is not a time for sentiment!".

What happens when the first pet dog is discovered with a mutation!?

We will never be able to watch re runs of Lassie in quite the same way...

We are quite something, us humans.

I could have sworn they knew about this right at the beginning of the palava? Why wasn't it dealt with then?

Spot on Honey it was seen before in the Netherlands and 6 other countries have also reported outbreaks in mink.

It seems the mink infect us and we infect them. If we are going to allow horrors like "mink farms", maybe we deserve to be wiped out....Not that Covid is a likely candidate for that...
