The real point of this sad story from Norway is that the system works. The problems on this farm were found during routine government inspections; the Norwegian mink farmers association immediately called in the police. Injured animals were euthanized and the farmer’s association membership and farm certification were revoked. Animal welfare is a top priority for mink farmers in Europe, as it is here in North America. You can read the press release issued by the Norwegian Fur Breeders Association here:

This is one farm with 30k animals… Makes you wonder how many like this there really are.
