Anti-animal agriculture activists now want Wisconsin’s Governor and the USDA to shut down mink producers to slow the spread of coronavirus.
Scott Beckstead is a former Idaho mink producer who leads the Center for a Humane Economy and Animal Wellness Action campaign. He says mink are potentially the COVID-19 super spreader and proposes a government buy-out program for mink farms. Beckstead says the virus has killed tens of thousands of mink, and two people got the virus from mink.
