No - the mutations identified are no big deal apparently

Minks look healthy & alert in the photo and the pelts look fine. As for testing flies, am blowed, unless there is a pile of carcases somewhere. Animal Rights are behind this imo. Winter pelts are better for usage but as I dont wear fur I know others living in icelandic conditions rely on fur in harsh winters.

Human solution => kill the animals.

[Old_Geezer]

I hope not. Humans are animals too.

Animal Rights weren't behind it.

alphaville is quiet - probably because of its awful pre-covid reputation and we have little covid

is the article for why are death rates in covid falling

( rather than as I said - why have they stopped dying )

just a grouping in case any one is into reading article in Nature

[woofgang]
