Invasives English
INVASIVES - Plants and Animals that cannot be defined as good for sustainability and growth of local areas. There has been published legislation from EU valid from 01.01.2015 about Invasive Alien Species, all in all species devastating to local species.
Invasives - sustainability
-
Regulations from EU overrides Danish legislation for alien species on Danish territory. Therefore rules on alien species from EU are shown first.
-
Then we look on how it is practiced in Denmark.
-
This item relates directly to the other menu items on this website, since all other points must be tailored to EU Regulation for Invasive Alien species!
-
Last listed issues where EU & DK- laws blocks up sustainability and development. We want to avoid biological ruin in the individual EU member States in relation to invasive alien plants and animal species, but, ultimately, also to maintain diversity on the planet. Unfortunately, settlement, and not closure of mink, are the worst problems to bee settled because mink are predators and they kill until every reachable animal is dead, when they are set free, and they are kept in small cages under the worst conditions, against al ethical rules for animal welfare. Originally they belong in the nature of USA not Europe. Public offices and organizations for mink, ignore, denigrate and oppose the locals' attitudes. Therefore EU has to list mink in Regulation for Invasives Alien Species, because member countries do not care about opinions of locals, animal welfare and nature, when they consider gidelines for mink farming. It has become an ongoing problem since EU did not list mink as Invasives 13.07.16. All content on this page visible argues for closure of mink farming regulated by the EU in Regulation mandatory for EU member States. It's found and written continuously since June 2015, so you can see the content as a timeline of the unethical and improper development up to date, because the page is updated regularly and shows chronologically the oldest materials first, with a few exceptions.

Posters to make visible what biodiversity vs. invading species are JUNE 2015
As seen on the material above from June 2015 EU defined mink as a significant problem across the EU, with front photos of mink on the website of Regulation 1143/2014 on Invasive Aliens Species.
All experts call and argue here for many and serious problems with minkfarms and loose mink in the Wild. If you go into the link now, in February 2017, minks are removed from the cover photo and now it only shows plants!
How can anyone defend this if we all look at the documentation for mink harmful to people, wildlife and nature, and not the economic benefits for relatively few mink owners with huge minkfarms, Fur Kopenhagen, workers from Eastern Europe...?
The difference between mink and pigs, cattles, sheeps and other animals is that mink are predators and killing until every animal reachable lies still.
Simultaneously, animal welfare regarding mink is nonsensical as they are kept in tiny wire cages and walk on nets their entire lives living in flocks where as the mink are soloanimals. It is so bad!
Mink destroying human life in the countryside, because you are fighting with mink owners and local authorities for years, when they repeat applications for renewable extensions where municipalities lying on the legislation, working directly together with Kopenhagen Fur and politicians are paid by Kopenhagen Fur. Probably one of the reasons why rural depopulation happening and there is immigration to big cities. Probably also one of the reasons why young people educated to agriculture can not get work because agricultural organizations and parliament preferring workers from Eastern Europe without a moral work instead. Indeed, they would like to work on mink farms, unlike us who grew up in a democracy based on human morality.
Both the earner and agricultural organizations recommend that we recruit labor from the East, although it can be proven that we, who are born in the country and people immigrating during the past 50 years can not get work! Descendants of Turks brought to the country in the 60s and persistent due. Family reunions and ongoing marrying from their own homelands has created a workforce of transfer income residents living in ghettos with big problems including crime, and we have areas where police do not dare go in! How then anyone can defend advertising for more labor from the east? It may be explained in the above-mentioned issues with immoral and poor from the east, that buy our land properties, also employed among other at mink farms, so young graduates in agriculture can not get work ...
Evidence of distortion of earner from the east, which also appear on Fur Kopenhagen's website you find on many links. Perhaps organizations for earners also are paid by Kopenhagen Fur? You can find more documentation for the argued issues on the website of Statistics Denmark's.

Mink farms are expanded on a large scale throughout the DK, which can be viewed via the link below on docplayer.dk, and cattle, pig and other animal farms denied environmental permits for expansion. That's some of the reason why minkfarms are destroying sustainable agriculture. Local and national politicians are even farmers themselves and their incapacitated to make decisions about minkfarms, as they collaborate in agricultural associations. Another argument for the European Union alone to be capacitated and responsible for sustainability for people, wildlife and nature.
In a future perspective it could be how the EU must act. As overall cooperation body independent of member states to implement and oversee the Regulations for sustainability taking action for local people, wildlife and nature in Europe.
This could also include refugee policy where people from the outside helped in neighbor countries, rather than recorded in droves in EU countries, including threatening terrorists. All refugees avoiding hereby also being considered as potential terrorists.
If we, the people, also were asked directly through referenda, not for or against the EU, but for and against the individual Regulations, then the EU would have its justification in future. For we, the people, are the ones who are not at all consulted and involved, nighter on a local, regional, national nor supernational level anno February 2017.
Think again, current our prime minister and others from our "parliament" in DK are lobbying against our referendum in which the people in Denmark voted no to terminate our legal reservations from Copenhagen criteria and EU also demands to neglect our voices! We wonder if it promotes the will of the people for EU? It's however demonstrate a lack of democracy in EU.
Subsidiarity helps local politicians to silence the locals in mink cases and does not implement sustainable policies when national states create framework laws for sustainability that is misinterpreted on local political level and used to reject minkcases by the Nature and Environmental Appeal Board in DK.
EU's agricultural policy also does not work as intended because DK is a small country where few large funds, such as Patriotic Society and Hofmansgave Gods, current in our local area and regarding our mink cases, have majority ownership of land, so that small farmers can not survive by their few fields and small animal farms, as it is possible for small farmers in our small country DK to buy.
Small farms can not afford to convert to organic and sustainable operations.
Animal husbandry is during latest generation farmers turned into double amount of mink farms, and other animal husbandries are shut down meanwhile. During same period of time all kinds of livestock are kept enclosed in housing units throughout their lives.
A generation farmers ago cows and pigs went in to the fields, as they are created to do.
Hopefully soon there will be chosen an ethically sustainable and evolving strategy again, as it is written on the EU's websites!
See many many many published mink extensions via docplayer.dk and refusals expansion of sustainable animal farms, both rejected by local politicians and Nature and Environmental Appeal Board, rejected because mink farming is not seen as problematic in relation to sustainability, locals as well as animal and plant-related regional specific biodiversity.

You will find everything else about mink farming documented at regionally, nationally and internationally level by reading all written, listed and shown on this page.
We have involved our own concrete mink-farm-expansion-examples to prove how it is practicised locally and in terms of how public bodies are lying, ignoring and distorts everything about Natura 2000 regarding Odense Fjord.
Since started with having to document our problems in the local area and to dismiss current expansions of mink farm in Hessum village as well as on Agerlandsvej West of Odense Fjord, it has now become documentation generally about mink and their destructive production.
Mink destroys our regional specific wildlife because they are set free and they only belong in the nature of United States.
It is an unethical industry in every way.
You can see the new front picture for Regulation 1143/2014 without mink published 13th of July 2016 below.
This list of invasives do no longer include mink, because by 13th of July 2016 EU had taken into account States' earnings by using workers from Eastern Europe and selling Danish mink farms to rich people from the East without moralty.
Mink are still cited as giving major problems in EU leaflets on Invasives per. 16.02.17 as seen below.
In connection to Regulation 1143/2014, to be followed by Member States, it is written that if the member state cannot figure out how to manage invasives propper, the EU will relate to it, and do something about it.
As it is documented on this page, DK is not capable to do so in ralation to mink farming, and therefore we request the EU to resume the closure of all mink farms across the EU. DK has ensured that existing mink farms are not affected by new calculations of distances to mink farms caused by emission measurements in recent legislation for mink farms, as seen in the pdf below.
It is done by not mention the possibility of complaining by local people about current mink farms, and thus including all the expansions seen documented nationwide in Denmark, especially from 2012 until now 16.02.17.
In our case the nearest local live about 70 meters from existing mink farm with 2,000 mink bitches and it's measured minimum harmful to breath mink vapors in a radius of 240 meters, where wind conditions are likely to have an impact on this and there is more wind in the countryside of flat landscapes in Denmark.
This means also that one can get sick of living closer than 240 meters from existing minkfarm - not at all mentioned by anyone, not the municipality nor the Appeal Board....!
The municipality could only see problems in 2013 when they rejected the same extension as approved in 2015. Since 2013, the municipality could not see other problems than a spruce plantation would be destroyed on a field in the local area, where a new establishment on 3000 mink were thought to be placed insteds af on Agerlandsvej, that because the emission of ammonia would create green algae on christmas trees. They would therefore die and it would have economic devastating for the owner of the fields. We, local people, were not mentioned in relation to emission danger nor wildlife or nature Odense Fjord on land and in the water.
The municipality lied when we asked them back in 2014 wether enlargement on Agerlandsvej would be about 3000 mink or in fact 3,000 times 5-6 cubs, ie 15,000 to 18,000 mink a year, which we can prove neglected on the information meeting at the town hall in Otterup December 2014 recorded on tapes. They replied that it related only to 3000. One may well imagine, without knowing anything about the mink cases, that extensions pollute more and more mink can be released into the nature. Municipality has at the same time signed reduction of nitrogen N.
Municipalities must reduce nitrogen generally due to Global warming and pollution. Nordfyns Municipality has adopted wet field effort in Odense Fjord, where the nitrogen must be reduced by 135 tonnes N, as seen via the link here, where the municipality again argues against itself.
February 2017 "North Funen nature scraping the bottom"
- article http://www.fyens.dk/nordfyn/Nordfynsk-natur-skraber-bunden/artikel/3120341
Report from Aarhus University gives low marks to nature in North Funen. There is both beautiful and lovely on North Funen, but nature has it perhaps not as good as it looks on the surface. This indicates a new report, which lists the municipalities' natural Capital, with technical input from Aarhus University and the University of Copenhagen in collaboration with the Danish Society for Nature Conservation. Here occupies North Funen on the bottom at number 92 out of the 98 municipalities with only 13 points out of 100 possible in relation to the meadows, uncultivated areas, lakes, wetlands, woods, etc. The national average is on 24.

Information on EU action for Denmark in relation to Invasive Alien Species before 13.07.2016.
The list above found JUNE 2015 can no longer be found via the link on Ministry of Invironment's website in DK!
As you see here mink are on the EU list in DK, as expected on all other previous lists from the EU before 13th of JULY 2016.
In TV spot on the left side all the plants are seen that are now only categorized as Invasives in DK.
One can ask the question, what special rules State DK negotiated and received approval of in relation to mink on EU level?
Existing Danish legislation for Invasive Alien Species with initiatives for sustainability and development from JUNE 2015
Parliament is in the process of adapting in to Danish legislation the regulation valid from 01.01.2015 - website Invasive Alien Species and
Link EU Regulation 1143/2014 Invasive Alien Species
Besides, see also the Scenic area for links to the different areas under NATURA 2000 and EU Directives which are protected species due to hitherto way of practicing agriculture and animal husbandry in.
Based on EU Regulation 1143/2014 has there so far been following legislative measures adopted directly in DK
Mink farming concretised in relation to Nature Odense Fjord and Skovløkke area JUNE 2015 where we, citizents, live.
Nature, flora and fauna in Odense Fjord, is also affected by how we practice agriculture and animal husbandry West of the fjord in Skovløkke area.
We see here the Invasive Alien Species compared to Skovløkke area, and focus on the most harmful Invasive Alien Species for wildlife in the local area, from the perspective of our group of private farms, hobby and leisure agriculture and "large herds" since we do not have land in DK for very large herds, nor in Skovløkke area.
As found on EU page for Invasives Alien Species Spring 2015 minks are a huge problem to local people, wildlife and nature.
As seen above, the EU has removed mink, as the most dangerous invasive species from their list of invasives 13th of JULY 2016. It is not good to know why. Therefore we wish it included on the EU list and al mink farms shut down throughout the EU, since the EU is the only agency to do it through regulations if they are not also purchased by the fur market, as it turns out below that the politicians in Denmark are.
To visualize all levels of mink farming and their HARMFUL AFFECT on people, wildlife and nature, we involve our concrete mink farm example in the area of Skovløkken on Funen West of Odense Fjord, to argue at all levels for the closure of mink farming.
This in the hope that the EU will resume the ethical perspective and our responsibility towards the planet's regional specific species.
In Denmark we have many mink urges.
If you search on the web about mink, there pops up many cases where mink causes problems in general, and therefore also in Denmark. Mink comes from the US. View the gallery below including photos of issues surrounding mink farming.
If you search locally on mink even more cases pops up where locals are protesting and not taken seriously. There have been brought many broadcasts in TV about mink, which you will find links to in the gallery at the bottom, where journalists have received sentences to convey on how it actually going on behind the walls of mink farms, including through documentations in "Operation X".
We focus on mink operation, as we have mink farming consisting 2,000 animals in Hessum village, Trøjborggyden 10, about 1000 meters from Odense Fjord and 70 meters from the nearest neighbor.
This case may provide a general insight into how it actually happening when mink owners get their cases through the system and how they are backed up, and it shows that we, local people, are not being heard because Fur Kopenhagen allows state Denmark significant income. The ethical dimension and our otherwise democratic approach towards coexistence is ignored completely in the battle for lots of millions.
The situation itself makes the current mink farm a major problem to a whole area. Below you see the current farm. In photo number 2 and 3 Odense Fjord is seen, where Lammesø is seen on the right side of the mapss as a part of nature reserve Odense Fjord.
Mink Owner has for several years sought to extend existing mink farm on Trøjborgyden 10 Hessum village East of Otterup and newestablishment of another mink farm on Agerlandsvej in the same locality Skovløkken. Mink Owner is member of Fur Kopenhagen performing his economic interests and own, which is not only to survive, but largely for shoveling millions at the expense of the population, wildlife and nature. It works against the development of a sustainable and ethical perspective.
These cases are illustrated and updated with the latest knowledge beneath. Before the gallery on the bottom including photos and videos you will find links to many articles brought by our local newspaper at Funen. If you search for mink operations, all our articles pops up as well as many other matters on Funen about mink.
JUNE 2015. Since 01.01.2015 there was laws to stop and close down the mink farm in Hessum. According to the new rules in EU Regulation 1143/2014 and other legal matters, it is unlawful also in relation to its location.
The owner of the mink farm in Hessum village applied for the first time to increase from 2000 mink to 3000 at Trøjborggyden 10, but was refused in 2013 from North Funen Municipality, with grounds that existing mink farm located too close to settlements, and thus in the category zone of houses that lies closely.
There were many residents who protested back in 2013.
Owner applied for the second time in 2015 Nordfyns Municipality on the extension of existing mink farm, Trøjborggyden 10, Hessum village.
See Gallery for existing mink farm location, etc. below.
Seagulls eat fish and mink are fed by minced fish laid on top of their tiny cages.
Current mink farm Trøjborgyden 10 Hessum village. View gallery by double-clicking on the image and use the arrows to the right and left. Map View is shown in the end of the gallery.
In 2014 applied the mink owner instead Nordfyns Municipality for a whole new mink farm with the start of 3000 mink at Agerlandsvej. The application is put on hold indefinitely because we were many who protested in consultation, sent out for consultation on 03.11.2014, deadline 12.01.2014 and many signed the protest, and there was media coverage by Fyens Stiftstidende and Radio Nordfyn.
New mink farm situated on Agerlandsvej, as seen in the gallery below. It is to be placed in the middle of protected swans winter residence, when Odense Fjord does not contain enough food so swans can survive in the inlet, but they have to get up and eat on land. The existing mink farm on Trøjborggyden 10 lies close to Agerlandsvej.
View from Ørritslev Skov (village) seen from Vekslund to Agerlandsvej and towards intended location of new mink farm in direction Hessum Bygade, Hessum village.
With photos of swans and their stay in the local area, it is visible that the swans are not just staying where Interactive NATURA2000 maps show it. View map again beneath in the gallery with swans. Protected areas are marked with yellow and purple highlights in the local area and they show both protected wetlands and protected animal species on land.
Swan flock moving daily around on the landscape from fields near Ørritslev Forest over fields at Ørritslev and by Østrup behind Ørritslev Forest and into Odense Fjord - winter and summer. They are in the water while they moult, and cannot fly during that period. See the gallery below.
This shows that Interactive maps from the EU through Natura2000 is not sufficient to show which areas of land to be protected in order to preserve areas for swans survival on land and other protected bird species.
Emissions of mink from mink farms may have catastrophic impact on animal populations staying in the area. Furthermore we saw that the maps of the channel process is also not adequate to documenting the release of slurry through channel outlet to Odense Fjord under Agriculture, not yet translated.
That because there are channels allover the area above and beneath the surface.
Nordfyns Municipality environmentally approved placement of new mink farm on Agerlandsvej back in June 2014 and thus five months before it was sent for consultation to the local population in Skovløkke area.
The municipality argued that the location of the new mink farm was to be placed on Agerlandsvej, because two other of mink owners possible field locations, mink owner and the municipality had looked at, were too close to dwellings and emissions from manure and would destroy a nearby spruce farm.
They said nothing about ammonia emission from the mink farm and the impact on people, wildlife and nature.
At the same time it was essential for the municipality that the extension of the mink farm would create more jobs.
Specifically, it would give additional work for one more than at present, namely, another family member, besides the father and son working at this farm, so there would be three working at the mink farms. The municipality did not think of it compared to how unethical and destructive mink farms are, and they could not see any problems at all. Mink owner already has nine fields, which thus is not enough to economies of grain together with his existing minkfarm of 2,000 mink.
The municipality also believed there were only 12 residents who should be heard directly, because they categorized land registers out here to be in the category of "agricultural zone" and outside "urban and cottage zone". It gives the municipality the opportunity to use the lowest factor for calculating the location and distance measurements from mink farms, slurry tanks, etc. to residents, nature's flora and fauna, wetlands, streams, lakes, canals, forests and Odense Fjord. You can also ask about the status of "houses allowed home status" and how North Funen Municipality categorized them.
Notice that the municipality emits consultation letter on 03.11.2014 and thus three days after the people of DK should be digitized. The municipality emits only consultation letter digitally and not per. letter. The municipality knows at an arbitrarily and given time that it took municipal employees long time to use digital media, as well as many residents of " agricultural zone " were not and are not digitized, as it appears on their digital systems, how many exactly are not.
Nordfyns Municipality abuses the Danish Law "Forvaltningsloven" including information about rights and respect for deadlines for citizens to complain. Administration Act Chapter 2 § 3-6 on Disqualification, Ch. 5 § 19 Hearing of parties, and §21 on the right to remain silent. Laws for digitized post found in Act 341 - 04.27.11, LAW 1273 - 21.12.11 and LBK 86 - 28/01/14.
If one compares the municipality environmental approval from June 2014 for new mink farm on Agerlandsvej with refusal from 2013 on expansion of existing mink farm, Trøjborggyden 10, it is seen that the refusal reasons from 2013 directly arguing against municipality's own approval from 2014 and 2015. The municipality also refer to Note 95 2014, which elaborates application on Agerlandsvej.
In addition to the 12 directly asked people, we were many who protested, wrote letters and during that opposed against a new mink farm on Agerlandsvej.
In documents above, it is FUR Kopenhagen, who has made all the images to specific location of mink farms. None of the plan drawings are correct target in proportion of the farm and where exactly it is contemplated put on Agerlandsvej or exactly where the manure storage is related to the channel next to the proposed mink plant. Nore are the maps used correct because they left out all of our houses, so it seems like we are non-existing. As documented under the Agricultural and channel sequence with photos of maps, etc., there is direct derivation to Odense Fjord. The distance from field location Agerlandsvej to Odense Fjord is also uncorrect.
Fur Kopenhagen has used the longest measurement to Odense Fjord to the North nearby Bogå, but there is much shorter from Agerlandsvej East facing Ølund and Vigelsø on the West coast of the inlet. Both areas are fully protected part sanctuaries in Odense Fjord legislated with Natura2000 EU as well as Legislation on Invasive Alien Species for mink farms.
So claims Nordfyns Municipality that the location is in the outer part of the coastal zone, but if you take the distance from Agerlandsvej West and Southwest of Odense Fjord, it marks the location precisely in the middle of the coastal zone, which shall be repealed by new legislation set by the current Government in June 2015.
This does not matter so much because the EU has laid down rules for buffer zones with Natura2000 and per. 1.1. 2015 tightened requirements for precisely Invasive Alien Species, including mink as Invasive Alien Species from US. These Danish laws were adjusted including new claims about mink urges, so that the Danish Municipalities think that they can do what ever they want to regarding mink farms.
Compared to the EU regulation for Invasive Aliens Species and Natura2000 Legislation must wetlands, streams, forests, buffer zones, flora and fauna be protected.
The municipality does not see any problems for precisely all of our flora and fauna, wetlands, streams, forests, buffer zones with channel drain to Odense Fjord.
Compared to the time perspective about the legal basis for mink farms and animal husbandry, the city council on Environment in North Funen Municipality approved the location Agerlandsvej in June 2014 based on regulatory reference page 50 of the document "Agerlandsvej new mink farm in 2014". The legislation referred to, is outdated and does not contain the correct laws and regulations of the area. Current Danish laws of nature and animal husbandry are in the menu items Scenic area, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry that are not all yet translated to English. Selected parts can be seen below.
The 1th of January 2015 the new regulation from the EU on Invasive Aliens Speices was announced. This means that the regulation must be followed to the letter.
Therefore there is no Danish legislation adjusted for Invasive Alien Speices, but only Danish legislation tailored Directives concerning Natura2000.
Because this regulation tightens requirements for alien plants, animal species and biodiversity, environment, etc., Natura 2000 is hereby also increased.
Danish legislation before 01.01 2015 for animal husbandry and natural life is in a transitional arrangement in relation to animal welfare and environmental protection. There was in September 2015 following EU legislation and updated Danish legislation on Invasive Alien Species.
If Nordfyns Municipality approves the application for extension of the mink farm on Trøjborgyden 10, mink owner puts application on Agerlandsvej to the municipality on hold. If mink owner not gets the approval of the application for extension of the current farm in 2015, he maintains the application for a new mink farm on Agerlandsvej from November 2014. And he got the approval from the municipality in 2015, so the matter is now waiting for answers from the Nature and Environmental Appeal Board of Denmark including our Complaints.
But since all animal husbandry must respect the current legislation from it is promulgated and therefore the 1th of January 2015, has mink owner, Nordfyns Municipality and Fur Kopenhagen and locals in Skovløkke area, no current issues regarding the expansion of existing or creation of new mink farm in Skovløkke area.
This because all kinds of livestock, manure storage, etc. resends increases from new EU legislation, and all livestock must be newestablished or renovated up to new requirements for mink farms approved by the municipality, the Ministry of Environment/Animals in DK and generally approved by the EU.
We, Skovløkke area, have, in other words, no cases which have been put on hold because the cases before January 2015 are unenforceable due to the new rules, because they do not meet current EU legislation on animal welfare and environmental adaptation.
By contrast, mink owner and Nordfyns Municipality have a task in establishing current mink farm with 2000 mink in Hessum village, Trøjborggyden 10, according to current EU legislation, Regulation 1143/2014 Invasive Aliens Species and Natura 2000 Directives.
If we believe that Nordfyns Municipality is not supervising for the area as Natura 2000 and the Regulation of Invasive Alien Species anno 01.01. 2015 says they should, we can complain about municipal decisions to the EU, which we have done.
October 2015 there was a meeting with North Funen Municipality and residents about the mink farm in Hessum village and minkowners expansion of existing farm from the current 2000 animals to 3000. Up to the 10.01.2015 you could claim about the extension of existing mink farm to Nordfyns Municipality.
It is incredible that a mink breeder can be allowed to harass the whole community, because he wants mink farm expansions to get work for a familymember more and municipality agrees without seeing any problems at all and really due to money.
Both mink cases from Skovløkke area as mink owner and Nordfyns Municipality is in the process of implementing or have been put on hold can be refused on the basis of that the Public Administration has had or still has local workers that have worked in Technical Management, Road Administration, and have friends in local hunting clubs with both management as subordinate in the same management group to examine and lead mink cases.
In addition to the Administration clauses for cases and legislation for the digital rights they can be used to reject both the application for extension in Hessum village and new mink farm on Agerlandsvej.
Finally Nordfyns Municipality breaks all its supervisory duties on laws of nature and environment in Skovløkke area located low close to Odense Fjord.
Unfortunately three liberal parties adopted the enlargement of existing mink farm in Hessum village on 12.17.2015, so now we need all to fight together. The only argument mayor Morten Andersen could come up with was that they comply with Danish law so he could not see any problems. But they do not, because our laws are subject to all rules from EU founded by the Regulation 1143/2014 on Invasive Alien Speices, an ordinance that DK must follow it as well as Danish laws, including North Funen Municipality.
Back to our mink farms JANUARY 2016.
The Mink farm in Hessum village with current 2000 mink and approved the extension to 3000 animals of the City Council on 17.12.15, Trøjborgyden 10, and the case of proposed new mink farm on Agerlandsvej up to Hessum Bygade, Ørritslev Forest at Vekslund and Lillegyden is an ongoing and devestating matter for us living in that area.
Appeals for Nature and Environment Appeal Board from usand Complaints are so far put on hold regarding Agerlandsvej. As we saw earlier, mink farms are covered by the new EU - Regulation anno 01.01.2015 and Natura2000 regarding our Danish legal reservations, because mink also fall under agricultural rules. Therefore Northfunen Municipality cannot ignore the regulation of Invasive Aliens Species in which mink are defined and shall be settled as invasives and therefore reduced.
Therefore, we can also refer Nordfyns Municipality for the EU.
Problems with the municipality's decision per. 17.12.2015 are as follows
The municipality breaks Danish and European legislation.
We would argue that the city council by maintaining on the city council meeting that they only relate to applicable Danish laws, and thus do not consider defaulting on existing legislation for mink areas, do not live up to their responsibilities as a municipality, both in terms of not complying with applicable Danish legislation regarding mink farmings and do nighter comply with applicable EU - legislation for mink.
In relation to the EU settlement on mink farms across the EU and rules for farming and rules surrounding rural and natural areas that are protected areas, both in Odense Fjord and the surrounding rural areas through legislation for wet areas, forests, ponds, streams, the Municipality of Nordfunen uses lack of data on channel process, uses misleading distance measurements to Odense Fjord and reject mink farming as problematic.
They also refuses to relate to local people who live right next to the mink farms and approve the same extension as they declined in 2013.
Moreover, it seems as if Nordfyns Municipality is expanding mink farms in the municipality, rather than dismantle them, which also is contrary to current EU Regulation for Invasive Aliens Species. This breeches municipality further its reliability in relation to DK laws and EU legislation and these intentions.
JANUARY 2016 Therefore there is set a list of Nordfyns Approvals of expansions 2010-2016 below. It is found on the municipality's website under the agendas and menues of meetings and some are found on google search. Link to municipal agendas and menues chosen from 2010-2013 and 2014-2017.

You may ask the question. Why are many of the mink farm expansions lying in the area of Bogense?
JANUARY 2016 Notice that the municipality has mink farm on the provisional agenda the first time 14.08.12 when considering wet areas in the local area Skovløkken, but first 10.09.13 Applicant mink owner apply on the existing farm Trøjborggyden 10.
As you can see from above, Nordfyns Municipality is very busy expanding mink farms up to 2013 and after, when the EU was supposed to ban all mink farms throughout Europe.
Nature and Environmental Appeal Board approved also back in 2012 when the approvals escalates in North Funen Municipality eventhough that mink were on the EU agenda, categorized as invasives, and contemplated settled and ment to be closed down in 2013.
It thus becomes also clear that the State DK expands, rather than settle mink operation as all approvals from the Municipality is confirmed by Nature and Environmental Appeal Board.
JANUARY 2016 There was further measurements of emission from 7 mink farms in 2015, where the results at that time17.12.2015, ought to be known released in January 2016.
On basis of that, why did the City Council not wait with their conclusions?
This is yet another example of the municipality's unwillingness to relate to factual arguments for or against mink farms, and only focus on their own needs in the city council for expansions of mink farms against all reason.
The locals' objections to the extension to the west, and much more around the third minkissue about mink owner Trøjborggyden 10, can be seen if you email us, including only one of all the complaints, as municipalities in DK are not publishing complaints from locals.
One can ask the question: Why expedited Nordfyns Municipality basis matters just before Christmas at the City Council meeting on 17.12.15?
One can answer with, that there is a question and answer55 from the Environment and Food Ministry from 2015, J.nr. 001-13696 pdf below.
Furthermore, there appeared two new laws on top of everything else listed here on the NOF.
The result of the report is that there is the same conclusion for mink farms as evident in 2013. Whether the results can be trusted or not we cannot be sure of, as many have personal interests in mink urges and univercities in Denmark are paid to do research, also regarding mink and who they get paid by is not good to know, State DK or Fur Kopenhagen?
At the same time concludes NOF that when you expand or newestablish mink farming, then logically enough there will be more emission of ammonia in the air, larger spills opportunities in the countryside regarding drain, and overall greater risk of pollution. At the same time there are more mink that can be released into the environment.

Then Nordfyns Municipality adopted wet field effort in Odense Fjord, where the nitrogen must be reduced by 135 tonnes N, as seen via the link here where the municipality again argues against itself.
Conflicts of interests
Mink Owner has established water filtration systems throughout the local area for a period and was, in letters sent from the Technical and Environmental Administration from North Funen Municipality, recommended to the local population to perform this establishment work in the period from 2005 - 2009. The Technology and Environment department knew and recommended Mink owner, and therefore they are thought to be unfit to carry everything around assessment and approval of mink cases in this local area. In addition, the municipality and city council members, perhaps incompetent in the matter, because some very easily can cooperate directly with Fur Kopenhagen. In review of Danish Law "Forvaltningesloven" the municipality's behavior in mink cases is illegal.
Even worse it is with the legal competence of the state Nature and Environmental Appeal Board, because they have approved all the above mentioned expansions, so therefore appeals are lifted up at EU level.
It is clear what decision to expect on mink actions brought for Nature and Environmental Appeal Board in DK.
Treatment of mink cases in Denmark, however, is brought to action in the EU. Now we just need to flock to concretize the complaints.
On top of all that documentation comes the possibility of a blanko check for expansions, without people's approval. We can, in other words, not know whether the municipality has made use of this regulation, when approved expansions, so there may be several expansions that have never been published. Explanation follows below.
The approval is a blanko check for uncertain expansion without public approval and that is made possible by the Danish Government against regulation of Invasive Alien Species!
According to new calculations of animal units and conversions, can mink farming with 3000 approved mink be converted to the expansion of the unit maximum without further ado, and without asking locals, expandable to max. number of livestock in the category 100-250 animal units list of mink, corresponding to maximum amount of animals (250 * 29 = 7250) approved by Danish laws.
This means that when the municipality has approved a given number of livestock in the category 100-250 animal units, so the municipality can approve expansions up to 7250 animals, without consulting again. Meaning, if the municipality therefore has approved a small number in a category, and owner just maintain the same standard of animal welfare and environmental protection equipment they can expand it up to maximum of the categori approved. Also approved by the same municipality.
Tips for Objections and appeals
Private social worker from Odense told that they win 90 % of cases of citizens facing municipalities by consultation is adequate. This means that the consultation room must include everything we can find in relation to dismiss cases that we do not want established. Moreover, it is, as mentioned in the Scenic Area and Danish legislation, important to note overall, and as a final note in a hearing, that everything in the hearing answer is written with suspensive effect, which means that the municipality fails to implement new establishments before respondent and approved by the Board of Appeal. See definition under Danish legislation on the link Scenic area.
Consultation can be used directly in complaints to the review bodies afterwards. See redress in the EU on the Overview Links and Nature and Environment Board's website to complain in DK.
Legislation specific for mink farming in Denmark and danish laws are not restated to the new EU regulation Invasive Aliens Species because an EU - Regulation applies and DK can not edit Danish law, but must follow the regulation, as it is worded.
Additionally applicable laws mentioned on Scenic Area, under Husbandry and here on the menu Invasives can be used when complaining to EU and Human Rights.
The EU-Commission in DK, precisely residing in Copenhagen, has dismissed the first complaint on 29.01.16 with justification, that it is not directed to individual EU laws and precisely to specific articles believed violated, and therefore has further complaints to be concretised in relation to EU legislation.
13.06.2016 Nature and Environmental Appeal Board refuses that local people, that are not categorized to be directly heard in minkcases, can comment on the actual case and our complaints are dismissed. The municipality keeps on allowing new applications from the same minkowner eventhough they refused his application back in 2013, as you can reed it above, where the municapilty and the Board are ment to take care of all their people, nature and invironment and not single economic needs of minkowners.
Minkowner could be forces by the Board to establish agriculture on his fields instead of earning money from abuse of the the local community and nature. In that perspective the Appeal Board is misleading and abusing their rights as a Appeal Board.
14.06.2016 The case is therefore sent to the State Administration including arguments to prove that the North Funen Municipality is breaking the rules for it's duty as supervisor in relation to Odense Fjord and possible pollution, health of local people as well as not hearing, misleading and neglecting us and our rights to be heard as well as neglecting and misleading in the perspective of getting the fully length of legal time to complain.
17.10.2016 State Administration rejects complaints from locus standi regarding mink farm enlargement at Agerlandsvej with argues that locus standi are not entitled to complain in relation to the matter at Trøjborggyden. The case has not yet been clarified in relation to complaints from the complaint justified in this case on Trøjborggyden in Nature and Environmental Appeal Board.
It should be mentioned again that if mink owner cannot get the expansion at Trøjborggyden he maintains enlargement at Agerlandsvej, and in this context we are all entitled to complain regardless of whether he will expand on Trøjborggyden or on Agerlandvej.
NOVEMBER 2016 The EU Parliament has approved our Andragender 03.11.2016 and will soon investigate the matter throughly.
Current complaints to the European Commission and Parliament are further supported.
20.01.2017 Locus standies on Trøjborggyden recieved note from Municipality that Nature and Environmental Appeal Board rejected Nordfyns Municipality's environmental approval of Trøjborggyden and mink owner cannot expand here because of new rules for emission back from June 2016, which is a victory for the residents around existing mink farm, however, should be shut down because location lies right next to settlements and Odense Fjord and in the middle of swans winter residence on land. Applicants may continue to reapply from recent legislation or upcomming legislation where State DK could be expected to change laws towards their needs of expansions of mink farms all over DK.
Mink Owner has said that if he is not allowed to expand on Trøjborggyden, then he maintains the environmental approval of Nordfyns Municipality from June 2014 to establish a new mink farm on Agerlandsvej including start up of 3000 mink in the category of 100 - 250 list animals according to Danish Laws on minkfarms (expansion up to about 7,250 mink) without further consulting of locals, because the new construction is approved and the municipality subsequently are not expected to hear locals about additional expansion up to almost 7,250 mink at the same location.
Whether he, the minkowner of 2,000 mink at Trøjborgggyden, as we want to close down, still maintains his approved new establishment at Agerlandsvej, is not yet known. The municipality said as follows.
In relation to the new establishment on Agerlandsvej municipality has in a mail from the 24.01.2017 following comments to Locus standhi.
"It is true that Nature and Environmental Appeal Board has remitted the environmental approval for the expansion of mink farm at Trøjborggyden 10. The decision was announced on December 22th. But because there was released new guidelines for odor calculation of mink in June 2016 the granted authorization does not meet that." Read it here in Danish and see below. "Therefore the approval revoked and remitted for reconsideration".
Though he has told neighbours spring 2017 that he has given up further expansion of his minkfarm. Minkowner still carries out his mink slurry via neighbour, third party, to local fields that are located by our homes. We do not want mink slurry due to pollution of groundwater, where our groundwater is approximately 10 centimeters below surface in the winter, and there is water on fields and roads. In addition, The Danish Goverment wrongly calculations in relation to legislation on the release of slurry in general right now Autum 2017 is a problem in DK.
"The application of Agerlandsvej is as mentioned put on hold. It has been in circulation for comment from you, but has not been settled and there has not been announced a final decision. If it is resumed, the parties will obviously be involved again."
In addition to the opinions of the municipality, some believe to have heard that the minkcase at Agerlandsvej can be maintained with current legislation at the time of application and must not be re-applicated on new terms within a period of 3 years. Again favorable conditions for mink owners, municipalities and FUR Kopenhagen... This can be rejected by EU Regulation for Invasives from January 2015 where it is written that the law must be followed from the date it is known. But unfortunately EU has not listed mink as invasives 13th of July 2016, and therefore we have not any longer the same argues through EU! We still have the possibility making complains to EU Court of Justice.
The application on Agerlandsvej was environmentally approved by Nordfyns Municipality in June 2014, and thus prior to January 2015, when Fur Kopenhagen had been "inside" the drawing board and inserted drawings of the location of Agerlandsvej without concrete targets for accurate positioning of the mink farm before June 2014 precisely because Note 95 contains the distorted drawings from Kopenhagen Fur.
Fur Kopenhagen used maps where all surrounding homes are retushed away, and without all the lakes, channels to Odense Fjord, etc. on maps for both locations. There is inserted a picture of Trøjborggyden, where they have zoomed out so far that it seems as if there are no houses next to the current farm. The house next to the farm on the West side is nearly not seen on the photo. Moreover, it is taken in an angle so that other houses on Trøjborggyden do not come into the picture. So we, the residents, are non-existent on the Fur Kopenhagen imagery.
Regulation for Invasives was published in November 2014, when the municipality via digital post put 12 residents in the hearing of parties for Agerlandsvej where we, citizens, should be digital from 1th of November 2014.
Finally, the new calculations of odors from June 2016 tells that existing and new applications on mink farms must follow the new calculations where as Agerlandsvej must be defined as new establishment put on hold.
PAY ATTENTION TO THAT NOTHING IS WRITTEN ON OUR PROTESTS, NOTHING TO ARGUE THAT THE MINK FARMES ARE UNWANTED BY THE POPULATION, US, LIVING NEXT TO THEM.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CALCULATION OF DISTANCE TO MINKFARMS AND WHAT AREAS ARE DEFINED AS AND NOT PEOPLE LEVING IN VILLAGES OR AREAS NEAR MINKFARMS IN DK.
THEY DO NOT AT ALL MENTION THAT A SINGLE MINKOWNER AND THE MUNICIPALITY HARAS NEIGHBORS FOR YEARS. NIGHTER DO THEY MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THAT THE EMISSION FROM MINKFARMS CAN HARM PEOPLE LIVING NEXT TO THE MINKFARMS!
PAY ALSO ATTENTION TO THAT EXISTING FARMES LOCATION IS NOT TO DEBATE, AND THEREFORE NOT LISTED IN NEW CALCULATIONS SO WE CANNOT CLAIM ABOUT EXISTING MINKFARMS!
However, as previously written EU Regulations overrules Danish laws........?
It is certainly Fur Kopenhagen was familiar with the regulation of Invasives but not necessarily Nordfyns Municipality using outdated legislation for their argumentation about mink farms. NOTICE THAT Fur Kopenhagen also use outdated regulations when telling about how to establish new minkfarms on their websites 02.24.2017. They still argue including BEK 1428 from 13.12.2006, etc. On the the meeting held in January 2017 in Technical and Environmental Committee Nordfyns Municipality, they say, that the mink owner of the mink farm at Trøjborggyden does not seek for extension here anymore because his advisors (Fur Kopenhagen) have recognized that because of the new rules of distance for minkfarms in DK from June 2016, it is no longer possible to expand the existing farm. Though the farm still lies about 70 meters from the nearest naighbor!
We therefore maintain the approved Andragender in EU and wait patiently.
In general Andragender in EU is found under PETI - link here
You complain - look at the page Overview Links
February 2017 Email from PETI regarding our Andragender. Before European Parliament will comment on and decide about our PETI it has been sent to European Commission, and again they dismissed our complaints 30.11.2016. Therefore we had 2 months to comment their refusals to the Parliament, which we did. The case was answered by the fact that there have been new calculations and distance measurements.
Our case is also taken as appeal to European General Court of Justice and Human Rights per. 25.02.2017and they have never answered.
In relation to the ownership of the majority of land in our area, so we saw on previous search on Google, it's Hofmansgave Gods who owns the majority of land in the area West of Odense Fjord, including fields around our case at Agerlandsvej.
One can therefore ask questions about who the owners are, as we earlier found an Agro Group from Aarhus and Patriotic Society by searching on Google, and it is not possible to see, who actually owns Hofmansgave Gods any longer. One can assume that the Agro Group has something to do with Fur Kopenhagen, as their advisor for the pictures maid to apply on expansions is employed in Aarhus, and also perhaps Patriotic Society, as both have influence in the agricultural sector, which is not possible for local exploring further because it by Laws no longer must be published.
Similar current mink Cases
Currently you will find similar cases from Kerteminde and Nyborg Municipality on Funen on Fyens Stiftstidende website, located in the start-up phase of the long-standing battles against mink urges.
In an article from Kerteminde or Trællerup neighbors say that mink dams can have 5-6 cubs in a year. For mink farm stocks that means in one year stables with 2,000 mink bitches staying somewhere between 10,000 to 12,000 a year. For 3000 mink bitches 15000-18000 mink and 7250 mink bitches from 36,250 to 43,500 mink. You may wonder if it's not makes more pollution and emission?
The article can be read in Danish here
The manure is spread locally both on minkowners own fields and other local fields. In our case, then, in fields where the water tables are running near to the surface, and in fields close to Odense Fjord with derivation via channels and creeks which are not documented propper on maps and documents in Denmark from the institudes to documents that issue. This we have documented on the other pages not yet translated to English.
You find documents from all over DK in Danish here including lots of expansions of minkfarms through the last seven years. http://docplayer.dk/26398913-Udkast-til-miljoegodkendelse.html#show_full_text
Concluding it should be mentioned that the councilors themselves are farmers and participate in various groupings for self-employed. see more here http://www.neet.dk/medlemmer/medlemmer-af-nordfyn-erhverv.
Therefore you cannot expect them to be neutral when deciding about establishments in the municipality.
Our Mayor is a partner in the family business Enghavegaard ApS an huge farming including several pigfarms about newestablished 20000 and newestablished biogas plant for the whole area located on North Funen. Article 3th of November 2016 http://www.fyens.dk/nordfyn/Moderne-stald-til-svin-giver-arbejde/artikel/3095064.
In addition, Fur Kopenhagen only have economic interests in mink drives, so they are not neutral, and are not able to be involved in decisions about mink instincts, as they do now, both regarding the drafting of documents internally and externally in municipalities, univercities rescearching and among their members.
In relation to the EU and decisions of the European Affairs Committee in parliament, it is not in our interests to engage and listen to Kopenhagen Fur, which it did in 2012 and 2013, when mink farms should have been shut down completely.

You may ask, what precisely did DK get through regarding minkfarming DK back in 2013 that made EU cancelling lock down of minkfarming in the whole EU? And what had FUR KOPENHAGEN TO DO WITH IT?
Mink farms provide work only for a few people, few farmers have employee where it seems that employees are predominantly from Eastern Europe. In relation to Kopenhagen Fur you can also call into question whether the owners are from DK or East and Asia.
Fur Kopenhagen sell out of Danish labor and import labors from Eastern Europe and Rassia. As we saw cases from North Funen Municipality approved by NMKN rejected expansions to other livestock and expansions of mink farmsapproved. Most people would rather not work on mink farms, but like to work on the other livestock farms. There's just no work to get, because it's taken by Eastern workers and they also by houses in the countryside.
Rentals are sold at 50% or less of the purchase price and the Danes in the country "sitting in their Houses to the neck", as a Danish TV broadcast is called. See it documented here via the DR broadcast. So Danes in the country, selling homes, lose their entire life savings when houses are sold for nearly nothing to people from East!
At the same time, we are selling homes along the West coast to wealthy people from neighboring countries.
Our Danish TV station DR is censored to keep quiet about mink farms.

EU PLEASE - CLOSE DOWN ALL FUR FARMS by including mink on the list of Invasives!
At present premises we execute opportunities for youth in agriculture, while Eastern Europeans immigrating in great style and want to work on mink farms as their moral and ethical approach toward business is different than our Danish, because they are poor at home due to many years governace by Communists. Entire villages being depopulated, and they leave their old people behind them in their villages and home countries, documented in the Danish media years ago. At the same time we have problems with criminal Eastern Europeans.
Mink farms are destroying livestock and agriculture that meet sustainability and healthy development of the environment, nature and, importantly, the residents of the local area.
The following lists of articles proves our concrete minkcases and that Nordfyns Municipality expands rather than close mink farms down, and the same is done at national level.
Immigration and exodus from the east and settlement on Danish land is also documented through articles.
The worst is that politicians are corrupt and Fur Kopenhagen buys their rights to maintain mink farming and expand it. The farms in Denmark have more than dobbled their ammount of minks through the last 7 years and especially from 2012 uptil now. And there are made new laws where it is not possible to do anything against established farms!
Where did the moral and ethics whent of to?
JANUARY 2017 Links Articles listed in Danish brought in local newspaper Fyens Stiftstidende
about existing minkfarm in Hessum By, Trøjborggyden 10 and new establisment on Agerlandsvej, Ørritslev Skov, Nordfyns kommune.

If you search for mink Nordfyn on website of Fyens Stiftstidende pops ups many more cases .....
For example bought mink owner house 2014 from the case Gulløkken below brought by Fyens Stiftstidende 13th of September 2011, which is now leased to his mink employees ... You can find the name of people living near his farm on Krak maps.
Gulløkken is resumed again by the City Council in 2015, where this time sought expansion from 3300 approved back in 2011 (2009) up to 5000 mink bitches in 2015.
If you follow the link to the municipality's website, the page can not be found.
Case you find here http://docplayer.dk/27441541-Miljoegodkendelse-udvidelse-af-minkfarm-gulloekken-36-5471-soendersoe.html
If you click on the pdf to the left, you can read about the case 2015.
Based on the number of applied expansions of mink farms, one can assume that in the two cases where addresses are referred to by numbers, one can be the further expansion of Gulløkken and the other one...?.
As above written "09.05.12 Nature and Environmental Appeal upholds Nordfyns Municipality's decision of 14 September 2009 authorizing the expansion of production from 2,000 to 3,300 mink on mink farm located [ Address2 ] , 5471 Søndersø". Then [Address 1] could also be owned by Froms minkfarms. But it could also bee another of the many expansions during the last years.

Fur Kopenhagen - Danish fur industry organization sells billions of skins from DK each year
Since it is a completely atypical Danish ethical approach towards animals that are going on through FUR Kopenhagen, it could be very relevant to look at who the owners of the company are.
In the approach to keep alien species, only stayed for skinning and think it is the most natural thing in the world, without regards to animal welfare and ethical approach to life, one might assume that FUR Kopenhagen is owned by countries East of EU.
Here it might seem likely that we are dealing with Russian owners.
This assumption is probably impossible to find answers to as we have Danish rights for private existence of companies.
Another possibility is that the minkfarms are owned by wealthy Chinese. China buys mink farms in Denmark. The 10/15/15 they owned precisely 12 minkfarms in DK!
You can see beneath how chinese people treat animals while skinning them!
Invasives fur - Mink. How do you think the Chinese people treat mink in DK, when there is no supervision? Or for that matter Rassians? If you just hibernate before replying, knowing that people either continue to be deported or locked up for life, or many disappear for good in both Rassian and China, what do you then think?
Issues where the EU and Danish legislation blocks the sustainability and development of biodiversity
-
Here it might be good to get the farmers on the field too and other owners of land and animal husbandry, please contact NOF, so we get your position too;)
Right now it is brought up to discussion whether EU legislation should be reduced or maintained in the current form, and DK is doing everything to rephrase so that it is possible for farmers in DK to survive, while preserving as many conservation laws as possible.
Or is the real agenda perhaps that FUR Copenhagen can earn more mony as well as the state of Denmark through Fur business?
Therefore, there are shout outs to maintain all actions that our nature is preserved and brought back to the local specific biodiversity in the individual member states.
Get more info about European citizens who stand together to fight for the wild at the Danish Society for Nature Conservation and their website and join the fight here.
We need at the same time to think new thoughts in relation to agriculture and animal husbandry.
Instead of a mink farm, the mink owner could have 8 fields of grain farming, and one with put and take lakes and fish ponds, or anything else to attract people in their spare time that do not support Invasive Alien Species.
One could also, as Morten Andersen suggested on facebook, legalize medical use of cannabis as well as hemp can be used as food for animals, ropes, caulking of ships, houses, etc., and if the Danish government legalized it, for medical use, where you also can earn fortunes, if one produces herbals to the world community on Danish ethical quality principles and European ideas for ecologically sustainable foundations.
Link to website with medical use of cannabis.
One could also imagine that villagers will not move to the country when you realize how rural treats its residents. However, the municipality may wish to sell the dwellings to Eastern Europeans, who want to work on mink farms?
A generation farmers ago
they let cows and pigs live on the fields, as they
are ment to do.
Both at that time and hopefully soon again,
ethical and evolving strategy is selected again!
