The Sun - ABSOLUTELY FOWL ‘Wet markets’ with HUNDREDS of birds stuffed in cages to be slaughtered still open in NEW YORK despite outcry

WET markets are still operating in New York City amid the coronavirus outbreak.


Video filmed this month at facilities in Queens and the Bronx – deemed essential businesses during the shutdown – show filthy spaces where workers slaughter live animals and sell their meat.


Blood and innards can be seen splattered all over the spaces, where carcasses of chicken and cattle hang from hooks or are piled in shopping carts.

At one facility, a dump truck arrived to collect buckets of red and brown muck.

Some chickens resorted to cannibalism, feasting on one of their own who had died in a cramped cage.

The coronavirus is believed to have emerged from such a market in the city of Wuhan, China late last year, leading the World Health Organization to urge countries across the world to close "dangerous" wet markets
