Lawsuit claims undue influence exercised when health authorities closed Fraser Valley farms in 2021
British Columbia’s ban on mink farming in B.C. was done “under the guise” of health concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic, a lawsuit brought by Fraser Valley farmers alleges.
The lawsuits name the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Health, Agriculture Minister Lana Popham, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, and B.C. chief veterinarian Rayna Gunvaldsen. In 2008, animal rights activists released about 6,000 mink from a Langley farm. Most were recaptured. The shutdown banned any further breeding, and farms were required to have no live mink remaining on their farms by April 1, 2023, and pelts would have to be removed by April 1, 2025.
