The operator of a second British Columbia mink farm with animals that tested positive for COVID-19 has euthanized the remaining 1,000 mink, says the province's chief veterinarian. Eight workers tested positive at the first farm and Gunvaldsen said that's what prompted them to test the mink. "On the first farm, we were alerted humans had tested positive for COVID-19, which is why we tested animals,'' Gunvaldsen said in an interview. breeder who euthanized his mink acted proactively after the three positive COVID-19 tests in an effort to prevent potential risk to other farms. There are about 60 mink farms across Canada, he said.
