Last weekend, a press plate in Guandu District Guandu Town to prison less than two kilometers to see, purchasing the 67 waste dumps waste directly on both sides of the road, the open-air garbage dumps emit foul smell, and post near the small village of the new State Road 320, one sack and another dead chickens scattered across a few dead chickens and no one cleaning.

Yesterday (April 19), from large to small post Pangyo new State Road 320, adjacent to the village two kilometers of small post where the dead chickens had a sack. As the vehicle rolled back and forth, this bloody sacks already dead chickens, chicken feathers are floating in the wind. "This is how the death of the chicken?" Passers-talk, if it is normal for the death of the chickens is just, but if the disease is fatal in poultry, then the residents here I am afraid there may be infected.

In white sacks, the reporter did not find any text, Who is throwing on the dead chickens found no way. After a small post in the village to the highway between the railway station, the reporter also found in dismay on the left three dead chickens in the central, color and see the same before, believed to be the same species. And in this place less than two kilometers, the reporter also found a number of dead chickens discarded only.
