Denmark’s Covid mass mink cull had no legal justification, says report
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.
Wave of Bankruptcies Threatens Without Compensation and Postponement of Corona Loans
The article emphasizes the urgent need for the Danish government to expedite compensation packages and consider postponing the repayment of corona loans to prevent a wave of bankruptcies among small businesses. It highlights the severe financial strain on self-employed individuals and small enterprises due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and inadequate government support. The text calls for immediate action, including the postponement of tax payments and the initiation of compensation payouts, to mitigate the economic impact and ensure the survival of small businesses in Denmark.
Beers and beating Germany: Henrik Larsen on Denmark’s Euro 92 triumph
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.
Denmark's mass mink cull illegal, PM admits as opposition mounts
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen admitted the recent mass mink cull was illegal, leading to political opposition and calls for Agriculture Minister Mogens Jensen's resignation. The cull, initiated due to fears of a Covid-19 mutation, continues in infected zones and with cooperative farmers. The Danish government dropped emergency legislation to support the cull, and compensation for farmers has become a key issue. 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
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
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. The decision has sparked concerns among fur farmers about their future, while some health experts question the necessity of the cull. 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
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.
Danish Covid-19 mink variant could spark new pandemic, scientists warn
A Danish vaccine specialist warns that the Covid-19 mink variant could potentially start a new pandemic, necessitating changes in vaccines. Denmark plans to cull over 15 million mink to prevent the spread of the mutated virus, which has already infected 12 people. Experts from various institutions, including the State Serum Institute and the University of Copenhagen, emphasize the risks and the need for precautionary measures. The article also highlights differing opinions on the severity of the situation and the effectiveness of current control measures in other countries like Finland.
Sweden and Denmark have taken two very different approaches to COVID
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.
