A long time ago, a mink coat was seen as a sign of success for a brash, vulgar woman who wanted to show off. Now, with animal activism and changing fashions, I thought those days had died. So why have Denmark - one country - so many mink?
Being conservative, one hundred mink could make a coat, so is there a demand for 170 000 mink coats still?
EDIT: it apparently takes 50-60 mink to make a coat.
Coronavirus: Calls in Denmark to dig up millions of dead mink

‘Opposition MPs in Denmark have urged the government to dig up millions of mink that were buried in mass graves amid Covid-19 fears.
The two burial sites in Jutland are highly controversial - one is near a bathing lake and the other not far from a source of drinking water.
The discovery of a mutated form of the virus prompted a cull of nearly 17 million mink, devastating the Danish fur industry - the largest in the EU. ‘
