The Brink Of A PandeMINK

entry picture

Are we on the brink of a new pandeMINK? Denmark is about to slaughter its entire 17m mink farm population after finding mutated strain of Covid that may be resistant to a vaccine... No wonder fur's flying

 

I woke to the news today
mutated virus found in minks
Another strain of Covid 19
once again the news stinks

They plan to cull them all
those innocent little minks
Seventeen million of them
once again the news stinks

Close our border to Demark
virus Cluster 5 found in minks
A vaccine would be useless
once again the news stinks

Terrible to learn the news
Denmark farms so many minks
Seventeen million will perish
once again the news stinks

I can't believe it is legal
cruel treatment of these minks
Farmed for the fur industry
once again the news stinks

It was originally thought
that the virus came from bats
Imagine if it was discovered
that the virus mutated in cats

There are eleven million cats
living in Great Britain today
Six million less than the minks
the Danish are about to slay

This is not Covid news
it is the tragic story of these minks
Kept in cages, now facing brutal death
once again, and all to often, the news stinks

We are with you all the way on this very sad piece of news and hope we can at least draw some consolation that these poor beautiful animals might not have to suffer their being used in the future just to please the thoughtless fashion addicts. Good point you make about cats.

P&S xx

I thought I was hearing things, the more I heard the more dreadful the story became. On another note looks like you borrowed your mask the Penny For They Guy photo?
