What is the purpose of killing mink in Denmark?

There is no killing without buying and selling, and there is life in everything in the world. Why did such a cruel thing happen, and what was going on? Let's find out. <>

It turned out that because the new coronavirus spread in Denmark in many mink farms, and there was a phenomenon of "mink transmission", Denmark** had to order the whole country to "kill mink", a policy that will lead to 15 million to 17 million mink being "euthanized". We have the impression that Denmark is a country full of temperature. Earlier, Prime Minister Mette Fraseriksen spoke in parliament and planned to spend about 11.59 million yuan to buy Denmark's last four circus elephants for retirement.

From a humanitarian point of view, this sounds a bit cruel, so some people on the Internet think that human beings are not qualified to decide the death of so many lives, and they should be driven to a place where there is no human world and left to fend for themselves, so why kill them? Not mentioning this view is simply a cover-up. Even if there really is such an isolated place where these minks can fend for themselves, when the new crown virus begins to spread in a biological chain, human beings may not be qualified to act as this "virgin".

Human beings are like this, they don't involve their own interests, they can say whatever they want, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect is their pursuit, but once it comes to their own interests, they will be like going crazy, regardless of it, everyone understands the truth, but who can really be a saint? Isn't this society just about taking care of itself first and then dealing with other things? It's all like this, it's the greed and hatred of human beings.

Therefore, under the blow of the new coronavirus, the community of shared future for mankind is by no means just talking, I hope that this wave of the epidemic can wake up Westerners, and only down-to-earth global cooperation can carry the epidemic over, otherwise it will be over sooner or later! Blindly dealing with living things will only hasten its own extinction.

The Danish whole country kills mink, in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Because Denmark** found that a large-scale new coronavirus infection was found in the mink breeding plant, not only the farmed mink were attacked by the virus. And the keeper has also contracted the coronavirus.

Human-to-human transmission can be isolated**, but animal-to-animal transmission cannot be stopped, so Denmark ordered the killing of mink.

Denmark kills mink nationwide because of the detection of infectious viruses from mink, and in order to prevent the virus from infecting humans, Denmark has to kill farmed mink throughout the country to prevent future problems.

Because the new coronavirus has been found to mutate in mink, and there is a possibility of transmission to humans, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic and ensure that the vaccine being developed is effective, mink is killed nationwide.

Because there have been a number of cases of "farmed mink mutant new coronavirus transmitted to humans" in Denmark, a total of 214 people were infected with farmed mink mutant new coronavirus, so for safety reasons, Denmark** decided to slaughter all farmed mink.

Denmark kills minks nationwide because the new coronavirus has been detected in mink, and Denmark is afraid that the new coronavirus will mutate in mink and eventually infect humans, with serious consequences. With the pandemic so severe, Denmark had no choice but to kill the mink.

Denmark killed minks in order to curb the spread of the epidemic to a certain extent, but this behavior was illegal, so he urgently halted the project and apologized for his actions.

On October 12, local time, Denmark** said that farmers and veterinarians have begun culling at least 2.5 million mink in northern Denmark, after at least 63 mink farms have detected the new crown tremor virus.

The Danish Ministry of Agriculture said mink farmers would be compensated.

So what's going on with Denmark going to cull at least 2.5 million mink? What are the implications? On October 12, local time, Denmark** said that farmers and veterinarians have begun culling at least 2.5 million mink in northern Denmark, after at least 63 mink farms have detected the new coronavirus.

The Danish Ministry of Agriculture said mink farmers would be compensated.

So what's going on with Denmark going to cull at least 2.5 million mink? What are the implications?

1. Denmark will cull at least 2.5 million mink.

It was previously reported that there was an outbreak of the coronavirus in at least 63 mink farms in northern Denmark.

On October 12, local time, Denmark** said that farmers and veterinarians had begun culling at least 2.5 million mink in the area.

Denmark** said that the local veterinary and food authority is culling infected mink, and that farms that have not detected the virus within an 8-kilometre radius of infected animals are also required to do their own culling.

2. What are the impacts?

Denmark is one of the world's largest mink exporters, producing an estimated 17 million pieces of fur and skins annually and exporting more than 7 billion Danish kroner, or about 7.5 billion yuan.

According to the report, industry insiders said that the epidemic could threaten the entire mink farming industry, and this "flying disaster" has left all farmers now in great uncertainty and frustration.

Scientists are still studying how mink are infected and whether they can be transmitted to humans, the report added.

Flemmingkuremarker, head of the veterinary investigation department at the DanishveterinaryandFood Administration, said the agency was dealing with the culling of infected animals, and the operation could last several months, depending on the spread of the virus.

** Indicates that farmers who raise mink that are not infected will receive full compensation accordingly, while those who have viral infections on the farm will receive a small amount of compensation.

Denmark** said the aim was to encourage farmers to strengthen their own efforts to prevent and control the epidemic.

That's all it says Denmark will cull at least 2.5 million mink, and scientists are still studying how mink get the coronavirus and whether they can be transmitted to humans.

Previously, there have been cases of mink infected with the new crown virus in the Netherlands, Spain, the United States and other countries.

According to foreign media reports, Denmark will kill a total of 15 million to 17 million minks in the country.

Because Denmark has discovered that the new coronavirus infected by mink has mutated and can be transmitted directly from animals to humans. In addition, the mutated virus cannot be inhibited by antibodies, so the newly developed new crown vaccine may not be effective in this regard.

Denmark is the world's largest producer of mink, and mink farming is undoubtedly an important part of the Danish economy.

In some cities, there are even more than 1,000 farms, and the local police chief considers the task of killing so many minks to be a huge task.

The president of the Danish Mink Farmers Association believes that this decision will be a disaster for both the mink and Denmark. Large numbers of mink will die as a result, even though some may not be infected with the virus; Denmark has lost its mink industry, and its economic strength will decline.

However, those mink farmers are guaranteed to live and receive full compensation, totaling up to $100 million.

Health Minister Hiyok also said that mutations of the virus have been detected in five farms and the number of infected people has reached 12.

CCTV also reported that more than 200 mink farms in Denmark have had outbreaks, and more than 2.5 million mink have been culled.

And not only Denmark, but also the Netherlands, the United States and other places have also seen cases of mink infected with virus mutations. It may be that the virus is so unstable for this species, and it just happens to mutate to infect humans. The new crown has not yet passed, wave after wave, the situation abroad is still turbulent, and the road to fight the epidemic is still very long.

Although there have been no cases of animals infecting humans in China, we should not take it lightly, after all, there have been many asymptomatic infections imported from abroad. Many scientists have said that this winter may usher in a small peak of the epidemic again, so let's prepare in advance, work together, follow the arrangement, and protect our lives and health.

Mink is an important part of Denmark's economy**, and widespread killing is a huge loss for both Denmark and mink farmers. Although mink farmers will be compensated, Denmark will lose its mink industry and its economic power will be significantly reduced.

Doing so can have devastating consequences. First of all, mink feed on fish and shrimp, and a large number of mink are killed, so some fish will overbreed and destroy the water environment. Resulting in the destruction of the entire food chain.

They may become extinct, and mink is a rare wild animal that decreases a lot when hunted in large quantities, causing a lot of changes in the food chain.

Mink farmers will be unemployed and will be fully compensated. Denmark will lose its entire mink product and its economic strength will follow suit.

I think the most affected should be the clothing industry, because the Danish mink is an important part of many clothing companies to obtain fur, and now cleaning so many mink at one time will cause a lot of impact on the clothing industry.

Because the Danish authorities have studied and believed that half of the new crown infections in China are related to mink, under the pressure of "mink-to-human" and the virus may have mutated, Denmark decided to start culling farmed mink. Denmark is the world's leading mink farming country, with thousands of farms and more than 17 million minks farmed, and 1 million mink have been culled.

1. Is mink linked to coronavirus?

The news initially came from a press conference held by Danish officials on November 4, where the health ** announced that they had counted more than 780 cases of coronavirus in northern Denmark and believed that nearly 400 of them were sick with mink. Of course, this does not mean that hundreds of people were infected by mink, but it is possible that mink first infects people on the farm, and then through human-to-human transmission. Officials also announced that mink in more than 200 farms had tested positive for the coronavirus, and that the virus that spreads between mink and humans is likely to have mutated.

This was the main reason why Denmark** decided to cull mink.

Second, the world-class mink breeding country.

Denmark breeds a large number of furfur animals from the beginning of the agricultural economic crisis in the last century, due to the geography, climate, products and other conditions are very suitable, fur animal breeding industry in Denmark is booming, the number of mink farms reached more than 5,000 at the peak. Today, the number of farms has been reduced, but it is still a well-known mink farming country in the world.

In Denmark's ranking of agricultural exports, mink ranks fourth after pork, dairy and grass seeds.

3. "A huge task".

Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen publicly apologized to mink farmers across the country for the decision, a decision that "ruined their life's work". The Danish Mink Farmers Association called it "a disaster". In addition, Denmark has a compensation scheme for farmers,** which is estimated to be no less than 5 billion Danish kroner (about 100 million US dollars).

The senior police officer in charge of the culling mission considered it a "huge mission".

In addition, Denmark has imposed tighter defensive measures on seven cities in northern Jutland, the main mink breeding grounds, including suspending public transport, advising outsiders not to enter, and encouraging residents to take nucleic acid tests.

Because the WHO recently discovered that the new coronavirus carried by mink has mutated and can spread from mink to humans, Denmark announced the killing of 17 million mink, which is to cut the chain of infection from mink - but I don't think this way is advisable, because in the future we may be able to find a gentler way to eliminate the new coronavirus, so it is very unwise to wreak havoc on the structure of biological populations.

Because of the spread of pneumonia in mink, which can be transmitted to people, Denmark announced the killing of mink.

Because Denmark has found that the mutant coronavirus infected by mink on farms can be transmitted to humans. And the new coronavirus has mutated in mink, and this mutated virus has been transmitted to humans. Because this variant is not as inhibited by antibodies as the common coronavirus, it may cause the upcoming vaccine to be ineffective.

So Denmark announced the killing of 17 million mink.

Denmark announced the killing of 17 million minks because it was found that a mutated coronavirus that can spread to humans has occurred in mink farms, and the situation is very serious, and so many minks have to be killed in order to control the virus.

Danish mink is the main production area of Danish mink.

In a narrow sense, the Danish mink only refers to the mink species in the territory of Denmark and its coastal territory in the Nordic Peninsula country, but in a broad sense it refers to the mink species of the Danish mink species, and the origin in the broad sense is:

Denmark (main place of origin).

Netherlands, Germany, Sweden (high-quality varieties).

Norway, Poland (variety area).

Russia, Lithuania, Latvia (same species).

Finland, Estonia (pan-homogeneous area).

Mink is a high value-added agricultural and livestock category, and the fur animals in Denmark are mainly mink.
