Ahh, it is actually in everyday use, but as you previously suggested it is a Welsh word, probably not used much outside of Wales and Patagonia these days.
I doubt the Mink are raised only for fur; just about everything has some kind of byproduct use and therefore value enough to sell if in enough quantity. And nowadays most places have specific rules about disposing of dead animals, especially cattle after BSE (mad cow disease) made it's way to many parts of the world. In nature there is little to no waste- worthless waste is pretty much a man-made thing

I was surprised they do not use the meat for pet food.
It probably would have helped understanding (but NOT marketing) to call it Mink fat.Personally, I hadn't thought about exactly where mink oil comes from, but like, duh, where else?
hehe yeah.
The MO of the mutation are in the spike protein, which is what pretty much all of the cures are focused on, so in that sense it is bad if they change, but the way it hit people and how serious it get appear to be unchanged along with how infectious it appear to be.
It have been given the nic cluster 5 ( i assume there have been 4 more elsewhere no one was told about )
7 municipalities in northern Jutland will get completely shut down, and around 17 mill mink on 13.000 farms will get terminated ( before i said the mink generate a 3 bill DKKr trade annually, it is actually around 5 bill )
So these all get shut down for at least 4 weeks, with a range of sanctions stronger than seen before anywhere in the country.
If the Danish flu get out there, it do not render all research mute, but changes will have to be made for sure.
11 people have been infected with this ( all is also cleared as far as i know ) but the things is the 10 of them are in northern Jutland, but one are right smack on the middle of Zeeland, and its a old guy in a nursing home so no telling how the hell he got it.
They are saying the stuff probably got into the mink VIA seagulls that here in Denmark of course do not make a living on the high seas, no ours are on welfare and just fly around and eat where and then they want,,,,,, bleeding heart librals.
nothing compared to Sulphur crested ****atoos, be thankful you don't have those
they have the worst screech noise they make, they're generally eat in groups so you'll get a heap of them at once, I have a gum tree in my backyard and it's a regular stop for them at the end of the day
Business slowed down when the old bird died- it was the main attraction of the place and people came from all around to hear it do it's thing
