After Culling Millions of Mink to Combat Covid, Denmark Weighs Digging Them Up Again - The Wall Street Journal

Denmark’s government is facing a grisly problem: What to do with the carcasses of some 17 million mink it ordered culled to stop the spread of a potentially dangerous mutation of Covid-19.

Farmers were instructed to kill the animals, which are raised for their fur, after researchers last month found they could serve as a reservoir for a strain of the virus that can resist the new vaccines being developed.

At least 12 Danes have been infected with the mutated strain connected to mink.
