Remember how they had to destroy millions of mink in fur farms across Europe because they were creating a mutant form of covid and passing it on to workers.
Then they started giving off dangerous gases from the mass-graves so they had to be dug up again and burned.

They are used in expensive paint brushes, so they don't have to be worn.

But I'm aware that my understanding of social context is low so there is that .
