The mink mutation in Denmark is apparently not as serious as initially thought, and it appears that the order to kill all mink in the country (17 million) was an overreaction. The minister responsible will probably have to fall on his sword and resign. I am actually OK with the decision. The mink farmers will be compensated and it is just as well that this industry dies. One thing is farming animals for food; another is farming them for fur (which very few Danish women wear, it is mostly for export) under the worst industrial farming conditions one can imagine. So I say: good riddance. Other European countries have also banned fur farming in recent years.
