Luckily, in this case they just have a mostly entirely harmless virus most likely killing no mink and weasel populations whatsoever. Except for perhaps the very oldest and fattest and stupidest of the weasels.
You have no way of knowing that. Some study found that danish mink got sicker than people. They killed all the mink in denmark btw. Which was the largest producer of mink in the world. They developed a variant strain. Sale on coats.
They did that just to make the existing fur sell for way more, kind of like the way DeBeers controls the price of diamonds by making them seem scarce.
