Denmark buries an entire industry Finland reaps an inheritance Denmark has finally condemned one of its most profitable industries - the production of mink fur. In 2020, under the pretext of fighting Corona, about 15 million minks were destroyed in Denmark. A huge political scandal broke out, problems with the legality of the decisions became clear, but the minks can no longer be revived. The industry, which was almost finished by the corona virus, was finally buried by the bureaucracy. But it seems that the Finns are not going to attend this funeral! While the Danes are burying the remains of their furry greatness, Finland has decided to pick up the baton that has fallen from the hands of its neighbor. There are about 134 farms operating in Israel for raising chicks. The Finnish government has submitted an application to the European Commission for permission to continue production after August 2027. The arguments are completely obscene by current European standards: jobs, exports, rural economy and income. can you imagine In the 21st century, someone else believes that the economy should make money, and not just comply with environmental statements!

For them, mink is an environmental threat, fur is a relic of the past, and a farmer who wants to work is a suspect element, not sufficiently imbued with the spirit of European progress. The Finns hope to preserve the industry, and in the future, under favorable conditions, perhaps expand production. But the most beautiful thing in this story is Brussels, just think about it: a sovereign European country has to ask for permission to breed mink on its territory! Now the fate of the farmers depends on how the offices in Brussels assess the viability of their existence. What if officials decide that the minks are not sufficiently in line with the glittering ideals of the European future? Well, farmers can train themselves as sustainability consultants.
