HONG KONG CONNECTION: CALLING IT A DAY
In June 2008, to prevent further avian flu outbreaks, the government adopted a policy of daily slaughtering of unsold chickens and encourages chicken retailers to surrender their licenses. Two chicken retailers in their 70's and 80's and Wong Wai-chuen (Chairman, Hong Kong Poultry Wholesalers and Retailers Association) who has been negotiating with the government to keep the poultry industry tell why they decide with reluctance to surrender their licenses. Their customers express their displeasure in not having the choice of buying fresh chickens due to these stores' closure. A remaining poultry retailer tells the difficulty in continuing his operation.
