Live Ducks and Chickens Disappeared from Food Market

Shanghai government has issued a decree, banning the sale of live poultry and duck in the city in order to prevent the spread of bird flu virus.
"The market is empty now and the only thing we can do is wait for the crisis to be over," said Wang Zhen, general manager of Sanguantang Market, the city's largest poultry wholesaler.
The market, which reported average daily sales of up to 1 million yuan (US$120,000) before the ban, stopped supplying local retailers. The city has shut down 690 poultry markets.
