An official inspects a 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.
