Mink look and are so very sweet.
Such a shame they are to be culled.
I wonder how they do it, and whether it is kind?

the ones they are killing are kept in fairly horrible conditions on mink farms run by fur traders.

What's the science behind mink and coronavirus?

not heard of them going after the wild populations ... yet. This extreme emergency measure is trying to contain the problem by preventing the inevitable periodic escapees from seeding the mutated virus in the wild populations (and hence perpetually coming back to infect humans).

it's almost better that they are getting culled. This is a fur farm, and they are horrible. (yeah I like fur, but farmed fur is horrible for the animals, and honestly much of the trapped fur is pretty terrible, because for some period (sometimes very long periods) the animals are trapped, but alive...)

Small things sure know how to make BIG trouble!
