Same in Denmark - that's the crazy part. All of a sudden people seem to have forgotten that the mink industry isculling millions of mink every year for fur coats... People are not logical.

Yeah, that was really dumb. To be honest though - I think it was the only way they could get the politicians to wakeup, so they used it as an excuse.

I remember when the UK banned mink farming. There was generally widespread support for getting rid of it.

I suspect this'll be the end of the industry in Denmark though - which is a good thing. The Netherlands already had those plans in place prior to COVID, so that made their culling decision a little easier.

Hopefully this will be used as a teaching moment - that SC2 is mostly a respiratory virus and that masks and socialdistancing are the best way to prevent spread. Handwashing sure, but fomites are a minor route. That out of mysystem, I completely support this: https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-disinfected-after-trump-exit-1553725
