As you may have already heard, mink have contacted the corona virus and transmitted a new mutated strain into humans. Denmark ordered mink farmers to cull the entire population of 17 million minks, for which farmers would be paid $3.20 a piece. How nice. After a few days, it was revealed the government didn’t really have the authority to cull all the animals but two thirds had already been wiped out. Oops. Turns out there are also mink farms in Spain, Ireland, and USA too. The biggest question I had was who the hell is still wearing mink coats? I haven’t seen one in decades. Turns out it’s quite fashionable in China and Russia. Mink farming may not survive in Denmark after this but I do hope sales of red Krylon spray paint skyrocket in China and Russia.
