KYW has item about live poultry in Philly, specifically, the Q and Q Live Poultry market in the 1100 block of Spring Garden Street, which cages “filled with birds, ducks, bunnies and other small animals for a clientele comprised almost exclusively of immigrants, mostly Chinese.” They mention a petition to ban live poultry markets in the city, directed at Jack Kelly, which cites animal cruelty as well as public health risks. All plausible cons against the poultry markets, but there’s an argument about locavorism somewhere in this.
