I hope that ends the industry. And make the state provide better/different jobs for the people affected.
Denmark is not a socialist/communist/marxist country, it is not the Danish state's function to provide jobs for people.
Norway's Fur Farming Prohibition Act is set to take effect in 2025. May this neighboring scare hasten the demise of this abusive and unnecessary industry.
I will be shocked if humanity do not see this differently in a century.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Humans raise mink in horrible conditions just to be slaughtered so we can make a fashion statement. Then, when the very conditions we created become an inconvenience to us, we slaughter them and fail to make even frivolous use of them, rendering their tortured lives even more pointless and sad. After all that you have to be pretty callous and self-important as a species to think "Humans > Minks"
Why are you putting the blame on the whole of humanity? Go place the blame on well off white western women, who are probably the main consumers of such products. I literally never owned anything made of out fur, let alone mink fur.
If you've got something that says otherwise, let's have it.
When you jump to conclusions you don't describe the world at large, you only describe yourself.

Indeed. And I love how we use other words to make ourselves feel better. Noone ever did genocide; they merely culled. I will be shocked if humanity do not see this differently in a century.

This is one of the serious dangers with the idea of letting the virus run wild to achieve herd immunity: you create a lot of animal reservoirs. Though minks do seek way riskier than average.
Why are minks riskier than average? Is it because of biological similarity (but then, there are lots of other mammals), or because of the conditions they're kept in? Naively, I might have just expected that cows or pigs or sheep would be the highest risks in aggregate, just because of numbers.
Minks are closely related with Ferrets, one of the "not really rare" but "neither really uncommon" domestic pets. Domesticated ferrets communicate by licking and gently biting humans and other ferrets, and live in the same room as us.

Is it that much worse than farming hogs? Most of that is done in cages too small to turn around or stand. Live transport and slaughter is also amazingly horrific.
