Kopenhagen Fur was established in 1930 and is possessed by individuals from the Danish Fur Breeders Association.
As indicated by the public authority, there are 1,139 mink fur breeders in Denmark and there have been coronaviruscases in 207 of them.
The Danish government put forward hastily drawn up legislation on Tuesday to back up its order to cull all the country's farmedmink, admitting it lacked the legal basis for the measure aimed at preventing human contagion of a mutated coronavirus strain.
Authorities last week embarked on a plan to eliminate Denmark's entire population of 17 millionmink, one of the world's biggest, saying the new strain could move to humans and evade future COVID-19 vaccines.
