Hong Kong Savors Return of Chicken After Flu

By Peter Humphrey

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong residents clicked their chopsticks with a new-found joy Sunday as freshly slaughtered chickens were available for the first time in six weeks after the end of
an import ban to stamp out the "bird flu."

Butchers started slaughtering chickens for the dinner table and restaurants put fresh fowl back on their menus after the first 38,000 birds arrived from mainland China Saturday.

Live fowl markets reopened after grudgingly adopting strict new hygiene standards to prevent a recurrence of the deadly H5N1 virus which jumped to humans and killed six people.....................

Was this fowl pestilence your wake-up call?
