The TV news showed dead birds on lake water, it did not say the reason. But one tourist said it might be caused by water pollution, when he was interviewed by reporter.

The news said that some sick birds have been captured by local residence, some dead birds are on the table as meal.

It seems that reporters and local residence are not aware of bird flu as a result of media control.

The person, who sent this information to Boxun, wrote "obviously that teacher and reporter on TV do not know the reason, they even guessed if it was caused by high temprature."

Boxun appreciates Mr. Kortge for the donation that is dedicated for the translation of bird flu relevant information. (Modified on 2005/7/24)
