Sometimes- well usually- poor village people sell their chickens to vendors who bring them to Kampala to sell at a higher price. These chickens, hung by their feet on the back of a taxi here, are alive still. They'll arrive in Kampala and be brought to one of the many markets. Yes, meat costs a lot here, and chickens themselves are pretty scrawny. If you think this is weird- or perhaps abuse to animals- you ought to see how they crowd in the cattle going to the meat market! Ugh. Oh, and don't forget the fact that Lake Victoria's Talapia (a fish for those not in the know) is caught then hung on the FRONT grill of the taxis, being transported in "fresh air" (never mind the bugs hitting them as they make the trek to the city). Yum- anyone for kebabs or a BBQ?!
