Hong Kong's farmers and fishermen demand attention.
'Who?' you cry.
Don't you remember the chickens they slaughtered? They weren't wandering loose in Kennedy Town, you know. Nor was there any poultry running round the stock exchange like a chicken without a head (those were the lemmings).
No, those poor, doomed chooks were kept on farms in the New Territories.
Agriculture and fisheries representative Wong Yung-kan set out the figures.
Local farmers produced 13 per cent of the SAR's fresh vegetables, 12 per cent of its pigs and, in years when they didn't end up in landfills, 19 per cent of its chickens.
