There is sad news in Devon – six black swans are dead. Avian flu is going around. At the same time there is a lockdown of birds in Belgium. Poultry farmers and pigeon keepers must keep their birds inside. Pigeons can’t race. The virus has come from Russia. Very large groups of animals of any kind can be a source of many new viruses. We need to worry if they have the ability to infect us. There are fifteen million mink in Denmark – for coats and embellishments. They will be killed, because they have a strain of COVID-19. Will this be an end of the trade in animals’ fur? Why do we want to wear fur? For warmth? Here’s Mary Woon, in the year 1900, with foxes round her neck, the tails of several “big-tailed ones”. But it’s not winter. Here’s Elizabeth Lobb, at the same wedding – dressed for summer.
