17 million mink slaughtered

I assume it flooded the market with pelts....

Mink are not dogs or horses

Put them down humanely

Wait, you wouldn’t put dogs or horses down humanely?

Nope.

You have to harvest when the pelts are at peak which is not when they were killed and you have killed off all the breeding stock.

These were not wild mink but carefully bred for color, size, coat thickness and other things that make a pelt worth more.

But sure, no harm done.

Same as when the Germans killed all the Alderneys and wiped out the breed.

No loss at all.

... COVID-infested pelts.

Mink are not dogs or horses

What is the relevance of this obvious statement of fact? Minks are not dogs or horses, therefore... ? What?
