Important article from @PeacockFlu and @wendybarclay11.
Not all pandemic threats are easy to eliminate but there are few as dangerous but also senseless and cruel as mink/fur farms.
Compensating the farmers would be much cheaper than dealing with even a small outbreak.

Thijs Kuiken: Just out: @PeacockFlu & @wendybarclay11 review #influenza #H5N1 & #COVID19 in #mink & “strongly urge governments to consider the mounting evidence suggesting that fur farming, particularly mink, be eliminated in the interest of #pandemic preparedness.”
