Denmark’s Covid mass mink cull had no legal justification, says report

30 Jun 2022  |  www.theguardian.com
The Danish government ordered a mass mink extermination in November 2020 without legal justification, according to an official inquiry. Denmark, the world's largest mink producer, aimed to kill 15 million farmed minks due to a Covid-19 mutation, Cluster 5, potentially affecting vaccine efficacy. The cull faced issues such as pollution and escaped minks. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen acknowledged the illegality post-cull. The State Serum Institute declared Cluster 5 extinct, and the ban on mink farming continues, with compensation to farmers estimated to cost up to £2.2bn. The inquiry criticized the government for misleading statements and lack of legal basis for the cull.

06 Jul 2021  |  www.theguardian.com
Henrik Larsen reflects on Denmark's unexpected triumph at the Euro 1992 and draws parallels to the current Danish team's performance in Euro 2020. Despite the absence of their biggest star, Christian Eriksen, due to a cardiac arrest, and the relaxed preparation similar to the 1992 team, Larsen believes in the team's strong spirit and chances of success. He reminisces about the informal training, team camaraderie, and the victory against Germany in the final. With Denmark advancing to the semi-finals against England, Larsen remains optimistic about their chances, even considering England's historical difficulty with penalties.

The cull, initiated due to fears of a Covid-19 mutation, continues in infected zones and with cooperative farmers.

The State Serum Institute warned of further mutations, while Animal Protection Denmark stressed the need for proper culling procedures.

Denmark drops plans for mass mink cull after Covid mutation fears

09 Nov 2020  |  the Guardian
The Danish government has abandoned plans to cull all mink in the country due to opposition and legal concerns. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen initially proposed the cull to prevent a Covid-19 mutation from affecting future vaccines. Opposition leader Jakob Ellemann-Jensen and law professor Frederik Waage criticized the move as unscientific and illegal. The Statens Serum Institut had not found evidence of the mutation for over a month. In Sweden, mink farms are also affected by Covid-19, but no cull is expected. The US has reported outbreaks in mink farms, with significant mink deaths. Animal welfare organizations argue that culling is necessary for public health and animal welfare.

Denmark orders culling of minks to fight coronavirus

09 Nov 2020  |  theworld.org
Denmark, the world's largest producer of mink fur, has ordered the culling of 15 million minks to prevent the spread of a mutated coronavirus strain. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and the State Serum Institute have identified mink-related versions of the virus in 214 people, with a specific strain found in 12 individuals and five farms.

Animal rights activists see this as an opportunity to end the mink farming industry. The cull is expected to last through 2021, likely ending the industry permanently.

Danish Covid mink cull and future disease fears will kill fur trade, say farmers

06 Nov 2020  |  the Guardian
The Danish government's decision to cull all mink in the country due to a Covid-19 mutation has devastated local fur farmers, potentially ending the industry. The cull, driven by fears of a new Covid-19 strain jeopardizing future vaccines, has led to significant emotional and financial distress among farmers. Animal welfare organizations criticize the culling method as inhumane, while industry representatives suggest some farmers may relocate overseas. The fur trade has been in decline, exacerbated by the pandemic and changing consumer preferences towards more ethical products. Despite this, some industry leaders anticipate a rise in fur prices due to increased demand from China.

Sweden and Denmark have taken two very different approaches to COVID

15 Oct 2020  |  theworld.org
Sweden and Denmark, despite their proximity, have adopted contrasting strategies to handle COVID-19. Sweden opted against a lockdown, keeping businesses open, while Denmark implemented strict measures, including early closures for bars and mandatory masks. This divergence has led to mixed reactions among citizens and business owners in both countries. Sweden's approach, led by chief medical officer Anders Tegnell, focused on long-term sustainability and herd immunity, resulting in a lower current infection rate but higher overall deaths compared to Denmark. The Danish public expresses frustration over fluctuating regulations, while some admire Sweden's consistency.
