A group of Tibetans in Sichuan province have been briefly detained and then released after trying to prevent thousands of poultry and rabbits infected with H7N9 avian flu from being killed. The Tibetans had bought the animals as, according to Tibetan religious belief, saving animals from slaughter is a beneficial form of spiritual practice and animals that have been saved should never then be killed.
