Chicken Run 2??

Today, I was walking to work when I encountered a broken down shopping cart on the sidewalk, along with some bags tipped over and a chicken lying flat on the floor. There was also some roosters pecking at the seeds strewn around the area. It looked like a chicken gang fight, with roosters coming to do some CSI style investigating. Anyways, only in China... I muttered to myself and kept walking to work. During lunch I went to see if the shopping cart and chickens were still there and they were, so extremely bizarre. I than went home, had some lunch, picked up my camera and went back to work. On the way to work I saw one of the roosters had dissapeared, perhaps to file his police report downtown? Nevertheless I took a quick movie shot and a single picture of the event. Some pedestrians saw the spectacle and mumbled a few words, and a bicycist also riding by seemed quite bewildered, although maybe they were just hungry as it was lunch time and no one seemed to be claiming ownership of these chickens/roosters and the shopping cart of items. Seeing live chickens and roosters is quite common, as they are kept in cages alive and killed instantly at point of purchase when bought by their owner for consumption in their homes later in the night.

Anyways, I just thought this was really odd, I don't know how much of that will remain when I go by there after work. I will post the pic once I attach my camera to a usb cable.. posted the pic: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2348945093&p=4132337850&idx=14
