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] |
