Denmark's prime minister has announced that up to 17 million domestic minks will be killed after a number of cases of mink breeding in Denmark have passed on the mutated new coronavirus to humans. However, with opposition MPs constantly criticizing the government's handling methods, the Danish government will not continue to implement the plan of killing mink immediately.

Denmark's prime minister Frederickson said that Denmark would kill all farmed minks for fear that the mutated new coronavirus would spread from Minks to humans and could further endanger future vaccines, the guardian and Bloomberg reported recently. Initially, the request was made to mink farmers, but the order lacked more than three-quarters of the emergency legislation required by Parliament.

The leader of the Danish "Liberal Party" claimed that "the killing of the Liberal Party" has the greatest basis for opposition. The government [this decision] has deprived many people of their livelihood, and in fact they have no legal right to do so. " Frederick wager, a law professor at the University of Southern Denmark, also told the Danish media that the killing order was "illegal".

Danish officials have revealed that the government still plans to introduce an emergency bill, but they also understand that it will take longer for MPs to digest the bill. The Danish government can also choose to use the standard legislative route, which only requires more than 50% support, but it will take longer.

A few days ago, Danish farms have stopped large-scale hunting. It is understood that farmers will continue to kill minks infected with the new coronavirus, but not healthy animals. According to local media, about 2.5 million minks have been killed. It is understood that mink breeders will receive full compensation for the killing.
