WARNING: FOWL LANGUAGE BELOW:

Came across an article in the local Sing Tao Chinese newspaper the other day about how there is an absolutely massive market and production/distribution network for these in China over the past decade. The hard truth: There is simply not enough chicken and duck farms in China to sustain a population where a substantial part of the cuisine is based on eggs and birds, so commercial scale waterfowl, wild grouse, and geese hunting supplements the regular factory farmed birds. Slamfire and crude bolt-firing pin pipe shotguns are used in much of these hunts. Local machine shop owners even produce the commercial grade brass and plastic hulled shells on a mass scale, available in birdshot, buck, buck and ball, or slug loads. Police and game authorities confiscated a number of these in the past and fined their owners but there are simply too much of these being made and used that it is a futile attempt.
