Decisive action by the Danish government is killing not only minks, but also the country's largest fur trader.

Last week, a mutated strain of the covid-19 virus was identified in furry weasel mammals, leading to the decision to slaughter about 15 million Danish minks. It is unclear how the animals could have become infected, but mutating Covid-19 was also identified in people who worked with them.

Kopenhagen Fur has already informed its employees about the closure of the business. The company is the largest fur auction house in the world, owned by over 1,500 Danish farmers supplying mink to the company. Kopenhagen Fur is the largest representative of this industry, producing and exporting fur to the Asian region of the world.

Compensation will be paid to farmers for killing minks. However, the question is still open: what will happen next with the Danish fur industry?

Now society and designers are abandoning fur all over the world, which means collapse for fur companies in Denmark and Canada.

In Greece, animals and people were also identified with a mutated strain of the virus. It is planned to exterminate more than 2,000 diseased minks, but not all individuals of these animals, in contrast to Denmark.
