The mink farmers claim the ban was for 'political, social and public opinion or an otherwise improper purpose.'
Four B.C. mink farms have filed lawsuits in B.C Supreme Court alleging the province’s pandemic orders and 2021 decision to ban the industry were unlawful and caused economic damages .
The farmers said the government continued to meet with them through 2021 in meetings they believed were to find a way forward with issues facing the industry. “Conversely, Nova Scotia launched a vaccine program in 2021 for mink farmers in the province. Nova Scotia’s Agriculture Department offered approximately 54,000 doses of vaccine to mink farms in that province, the cost being split with the federal government,” the suits said. “The doses were administered in or around November and December 2021 to roughly 27,000 mink , with each mink receiving two doses.
