2nd August 2020 | A Million Mink Are Dead
—Refer below to our critique of "cull," add to it this article's Orwellin ipse dixit. A million mink were killed, but no worries: it was in the hands of nameless "authorities"—who eschew credit, but appreciate capitulation. Sadly, not up for review is our species' obedience to authority: too many of us can be asch-affected into compliance merely by compadres, much less lab coats, until white appears black and wrong, right.

Rather than these truths, we're shown snuggling mink babies & smiling pigs:

—According to a top animal science university, COVID has infected the following farm & companion animals: 6 cats, 4 dogs, a few tigers, and some mink. Similar findings from the CDC here. Surely, there'll be more, but the contrast is shocking. On the flipside, humans are finding themselves overwhelmingly vulnerable to this "multi-system" pathogen, including lasting damage to brain & lungs.
