Dead mink infected with a mutated form of COVID-19 rise from graves after mass culling.

Mink infected with a mutated strain of COVID-19 in Denmark appear to be rising from the dead, igniting a national frenzy and calls from local officials to cremate mink carcasses.

While the sight itself is certainly terrifying for the residents of West Jutland, a region of the country grappling with confirmed COVID-19 cases connected to mink, there is likely a scientific explanation for the zombie-like reemergence from their graves.

A Danish police spokesman, Thomas Kristensen, told a state broadcaster that gases form while the body decays underground, according to the Guardian.

“In this way, in the worst cases, the mink get pushed out of the ground,” Kristensen said of the nightmarish sight.

The nation has planned to cull all 15 million mink in the country, which produce 40% of the world’s mink fur.

Because of the rushed burial, the animals were placed in shallow graves – just over three feet deep. Now, officials plan to bury the creatures in graves nearly double the depth. The area will be also monitored nonstop until a fence can be set up, the Guardian reported.

But for some local officials, that may not suffice.

Some have also been concerned about the graves’ proximity to rivers and other water sources, which may contaminate water supplies in the region. At least two mayors have suggested burning all the mink corpses in order to prevent further concerns, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten reported.

Thank you for the article, Becky.

I understand that certain measures need to be implemented when it comes to diseased animals, but it still doesn't do anything for me to soothe the searing feeling in my guts knowing what a waste it all is.

Just knowing how many animals need to die sickens me.
 
Yes so very sad. One thing I'm wondering about is why are these mink returning to the surface? Over 3ft of dirt over them. That's heavy. I've lost and buried pets in about 2-1/2 feet of dirt, none ever rose to the surface.

Do Covid infected bodies have much more gasses then those without Covid-19?

Weird.

I wondered the same, Becky, and the only thing I can think of is that the soil may have been more friable in the area where the burial was done.

These are mass graves, so lots of gases being produced during decomposition of dozens (or more) minks in the same grave. It would probably be like burying one or more human bodies in a 3 foot grave, which isn't deep enough.
