Dammit, and since years I was thinking that anything related to fur was a closed chapter, at least in Europe. This is horrible and absolutely superfluous, used to produce luxury goods :(

The killer is that much of the furry collars on clothing items sold in Europe, which we often presume to be fake, are in fact from Chinese racoondogs.

While I don’t really care one way or the other about the mink farms, it should come as no surprise that the main marked for the mink furs is China. For a supposed communist country they sure do like superflous luxury goods and have little regards for how they are made.

Its good to keep it in perspective. There are billions of people in China. If only a tenth of a percent enjoys luxury goods, that's millions of people.

And as another Dane, I am digusted and have beeen for many years. Would that vis-a-vis mink farmers as a group this virus had a sense of poetic justice.
