From the St. Petersburg Times:
Veterinary workers wearing masks and white protective suits carted off refuse and burned it Tuesday inside the quarantined section of the popular Bird Market as guards patrolled the perimeter.
But other parts of the market, which has been linked to an outbreak of the deadly H5N1 strain of avian flu, remained open for business, with sellers hawking dogs, cats and fish.
“Of course it doesn’t affect the dogs,” saleswoman Maria Ivanova said, sitting in front of a cage of playful Alsatian puppies selling for $200 each.
