Nordic country culled 15 million mink after discovering mutated version of coronavirus
Decomposing mink buried in mass graves in Denmark after being culled because of coronavirus fears may have contaminated the groundwater, a local radio has said, as the agriculture ministry admitted it had lost track of about 1.5 million bodies.
Denmark, the world’s largest exporter of mink fur, announced early last month it would cull up to 15 million mink after discovering a mutated version of the virus that could have jeopardised the effectiveness of future vaccines.
