Greece has started to cull 2,500 minks that have caught a mutant strain of coronavirus as Danish farmers demand an end to the killing of 17 million. So far there has been no indication that Greece will cull its entire mink population. Meanwhile, Danish farmers have demanded the end to a cull of 17 million minks over a coronavirus outbreak after no new cases of people infected with the mutant have been recorded. There are 1,139 mink farms in Denmark, employing about 6,000 people, according to the industry. Ministers had ordered the cull after coronavirus, which had spread to farm workers, jumped species and infected the minks.
