Dutch farms ordered to cull 10,000 mink over coronavirus risk

Dutch mink farms have begun a government-ordered cull over concern that animals infected with coronavirus could transmit it to humans.

final number was 570000

😥😡

Sr_ChairmanMeow Issa Netherlands, and not China. So it’s okayyy lol

What a pitty! 😌😌🐻🐻😌😌

'Two people infected by mink in only known animal-to-human transmissions since outbreak began' ... In the Netherlands

The Netherlands is an outrage in this dossier. They decided to outlaw mink fur farming by 2024 but of course this should have happened ages ago! I don't understand why there isn't much more public indignation about it.

How cute litle animal i would like to have one as a pet

Well they are living a pitiful life anyway. Poor creatures. Hopefully another bleeding nail in the stinking fur industry’s coffin.

so early harvest of the fur ?

When will we stop treating animals as products? We seem to think we can do what we like. I feel nature is showing us it is angry in so many ways.

H50Europe This is called CovidIgnorance Test first before you do this terrible act. 🤦🏻‍♀️😡ProtectMotherNaturesCreatures

Do not release them into the wild they kill native wildlife

Mink farms are the pinnacle of moral bankruptcy

Maybe they could just be released back into the wild. Or maybe the White House.

Will we ever stop treating non-human animals just like material? This screams to heaven, but unfortunately it is only sky.🤮

WTF ?

Could do with a new winter hat...details please?

Cool. Cheap Mink.

Same result 🤷🏻‍♂️

Please stop.

I can't believe it!!!

Why? The vectors are not mink. This is as stupid as culling badgers for bovine tuberculosis. Poor little critters.

‘The cull involves farm workers in protective clothing using gas on mink mothers and pups.’ That’s horrific 💔💔💔

That's horrible in two very disgusting ways. First, that we still have commercial/industrial-scale farms. Second, that after living a horrible and short life on a farm, they now get to be killed en masse with no remains being used. Oh, 3rd disgust - anyone who still buys mink.

That's animal abuse!!

There must be some other way, this is terrible. Poor mink I think the assumption of a supposed risk to people is minimal

Humans r truly the virus.

What No

Isn't that their fate anyway?

Shocking 😡

Disgusting we actually still have these fur farms. 😥

i hate now Ntherland. why do they grow minks and kill them.. for a few euros.. how cruel people could be

Horrible. He will still harvest their fur!😢😭

This is so sad!! 😭😭😭💔

I guess the price of fur coats will be dropping

😞😞😞
