Abstract
Abstract In July 2022, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen publicly apologized for culling 17 million mink during COVID. The minks were culled as a response to a few cases of animal-to-farmers transmission of the virus. From an ethical perspective, “Minkgate” potentially signals the failure or even the inadequacy of the fields of animal ethics and public health ethics to properly address culling as a public health measure. Yet, other than a few precursory ethical analyses of the cull, bioethicists and environmental philosophers have largely remained silent in the face of the potentially unjustified killing of millions of sentient animals across Europe. The aim of this chapter is to sketch guidelines for an ethical analysis that is informed by One Health (OH) ethical theory and principles. Such an ethical analysis may briefly be called an OH ethical analysis. Most if not all of these principles and the theory behind them have been described and defended elsewhere, and the goal here is to provide a state-of-the-art synthesis of the ethics of OH and collect all of these principles and theoretical groundwork under one metaphorical roof.
