Danes living near mass mink graves in Denmark have complained of the smell - as trucks spilled bodies of the culled animals across roads in horrifying scenes. There is no legal authority to ask mink breeders to slaughter their mink outside the zones [of infection],' he told network TV2 on Tuesday. Ministers had ordered the cull after coronavirus, which had spread to farm workers, jumped species and infected the minks. There are 1,139 mink farms in Denmark, employing about 6,000 people, according to the industry. Danish farms together account for 40% of global mink fur production and are the world's biggest exporter.
