Denmark’s Covid mass mink cull had no legal justification, says report

30 Jun 2022  |  www.theguardian.com
The Danish government ordered a mass mink extermination in November 2020 without legal justification, according to an official inquiry. Denmark, the world's largest mink producer, aimed to kill 15 million farmed minks due to a Covid-19 mutation, Cluster 5, potentially affecting vaccine efficacy. The cull faced issues such as pollution and escaped minks. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen acknowledged the illegality post-cull. The State Serum Institute declared Cluster 5 extinct, and the ban on mink farming continues, with compensation to farmers estimated to cost up to £2.2bn. The inquiry criticized the government for misleading statements and lack of legal basis for the cull.

Beers and beating Germany: Henrik Larsen on Denmark’s Euro 92 triumph

06 Jul 2021  |  www.theguardian.com
Henrik Larsen reflects on Denmark's unexpected triumph at the Euro 1992 and draws parallels to the current Danish team's performance in Euro 2020. Despite the absence of their biggest star, Christian Eriksen, due to a cardiac arrest, and the relaxed preparation similar to the 1992 team, Larsen believes in the team's strong spirit and chances of success. He reminisces about the informal training, team camaraderie, and the victory against Germany in the final. With Denmark advancing to the semi-finals against England, Larsen remains optimistic about their chances, even considering England's historical difficulty with penalties.
