Although the exact numbers were not given to the press, Ministry of Agriculture officials were back in Higuey and killed several more birds in the training stations for fighting cocks, according to the latest reports. The birds were placed in plastic bags and buried in an eight-foot hole. Meanwhile, Listin Diario reported that in the southwestern border town of Pedernales, sales of poultry and eggs were at their usual levels. However, in Jimani and Dajabon, two much larger export points, sales were minimal and the boycott and ban on Dominican poultry and eggs continued to be strictly enforced.
Puerto Rico removed the ban on poultry and egg exports from the DR but is investigating, following calls that the infected birds had clandestinely been shipped into the DR on a yacht that came from Puerto Rico.
