Got more chance of catching Covid in a supermarket from idiots who after queuing 2 meters apart out the front of the shop think it’s fine to get in your space inside the shop. Also twats dropping gloves and masks in the street have to keep an eye on our dog while walking him all the time. |

The issue is, is it the original covid 19 that we know animals carried or the one that can infect humans ? You have to consider that covid 19 has probably been around for centuries but only recently mutated to be able to infect humans.
A simple test for covid 19 which is what was probably done and not a full dna check of the virus which will not show which strain it is..despite 2 people at the mink farm testing positive its hard based just on rumor and speculation to make such comments accurately. |

Heidi's two cats are and will be in and out regularly as per normal.
Studies were done on cats/dogs very early in the pandemic and given the all clear. Just more fear-mongering journalistic hype. |

We’re were over run by mink down a local river, as an animal rights protestor let all the mink out of a nearby mink farm, they are vicious even if they look cute, they kill just for the sake of it not just because their hungry, about 12 of them surrounded us on the river bank once lol  |

Precisely this. This kind of crap only serves to incite people to harm and/or abandon pets. In future OP, do your research before posting. I have 4 cats and a dog myself and get worried sick about their safety with people spreading rubbish like this all over the Internet. |

"Why would there be "hundreds of mink" at a farm in the first place?
Hmmmm
It's a "fur farm" I assume?
Well yeah, but who wears mink these days?"
Think you will find it’s the highest selling fur worldwide and a mink farmer probably earns around £40k+ a year so think plenty of people are still buying it |

It’s not banned in Europe though, It’s Holland where they are saying they were killing 10,000 mink due to covid which is where the thread started, I was just pointing out it’s still a productive industry and people still buy mink products that’s why there are hundreds of mink at a farm. |

So the river where you got surrounded was in Holland, was the coronovirus that affected these mink cv19 as there are quite a few that affect different animals, some vaccines are available for use in cattle against the ones that affect them.

No not in Holland, I didn’t say it happened this year, I just it was something we experienced which was years ago in this country when they were freed from a farm local to us.
The news I saw said they were culling 10,000 mink due to covid 19 that was in Holland but I have no idea what the test results said without going back to look at the news. |

The Norfolk Broads are over-run with mink. Have been for years since "Animal Rights" nutters freed a load of them.... devestating the native animal populations. |
