Mink and you'll miss it: From eyelashes to moisturiser, you might be already using mink
More than 50 million mink are bred worldwide each year, in the most part, for their fur.
Last week, Denmark announced a nationwide cull of all of its mink - up to 17 million animals - due to a worry about a mutated form of coronavirus found on Danish mink farms. Today, it was announced that there will be a nationwide cull of mink in Ireland, where 100,000 animals live across three farms, and no further mink farming after that.
