poultry market in Beijing Monday after the capital city ordered the
shutdown of all 168 poultry markets in an effort to contain the spread of
the bird flu virus. The municipal government also closed pet-bird markets,
banned chicken raising in urban areas, and asked citizens to keep their
pigeons in cages. [newsphoto] |
