“…SARS-CoV-2 (Covid 19) is an exemplar virus, disease, and pandemic with relevance to fur farming. At least 33 mammalian species have been highlighted as being at risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 (Suarez, 2017;Akimоva et al, 2021;Goraichuk et al, 2021). Influenza virus is a highly contagious and concerning infection of fur farmed animals (notably mink), that causes high mortality (Åkerstedt et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2021).…”

Fur farming involves the captive-breeding, rearing, and killing of between 85 – 100 million animals annually for their pelts. The purpose of this report is to summarise key areas of significance and concern regarding fur farming, and discuss these matters and their one-health considerations. We conducted primary literature searches using Google Scholar and PubMed that focused on issues of animal welfare, zoonoses and public health, and environmental impacts of fur farming, and examined 280 reports. We identified that at least 15 species are farmed for fur across at least 19 countries. We found 16 categories of animal welfare concern (e.g., deprivation, stress, abnormal behaviours, insanitary conditions, forced obesity, and high morbidity and mortality), 18 reported endemic pathogens and diseases with confirmed or potential zoonotic and cross-species implications (e.g., bacterial n = 6, viral n = 5, and parasitic n = 7), and four main categories of environmental concern (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions, invasive alien species, toxic chemicals, and eutrophication) associated with fur farming. Despite numerous efforts to systematically monitor and control animal welfare at fur farms, practices continue to fail to meet normal scientific principles and models used in other animal welfare situations. In our view, limited available data does not currently indicate that fur farms are major sources of zoonotic epidemics and pandemics. The environmental problems caused by fur farming are significant, and relate mainly to invasive species, toxic chemical release and eutrophication of water bodies. We offer some recommendations for monitoring and controlling particular fur farming practices, in line with many governments and other investigators we conclude that inherent problems are essentially unresolvable and advocate complete prohibitions on the sector.

During the COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) pandemic, the world medical community has done a tremendous job to find effective treatment and methods for preventing the disease. The experience accumulated earlier in the fight against COVID-19 (MERS, SARS-CoV, etc.) has made it possible in the shortest possible time to develop a long-awaited method for the specific prevention of COVID-19, based on a large number of effective and safe vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, which were adopted society is ambiguous. Fear of high contagiousness and mortality from COVID-19 has been replaced by anxiety about the need and benefits of vaccination. The abundance and easy accessibility of information, as well as the contradictory points of view in various sources of non-professional information, gave rise to new misconceptions and provided resources for the actions of dissident movements.This paper provides a generalized analysis of the results of the vaccination campaign against COVID-19, examines the factors that influence the success of achieving population immunity. Particular attention is paid to social and psychological barriers among the population that prevent the widespread use of vaccines against COVID-19, the COVID dissident movement, the manipulative beliefs of the anti-vaccination community that can affect the implementation of preventive measures against the disease.
