Vendors caught inflating raw chickens with their mouths to make them bigger to sell for a higher price

 Video taken in Venezuela has revealed how vendors trick customers into parting with a little more money. The people in the video are seen blowing up raw chickens with their mouths to make them feel heavier so they can charge a higher price for the birds. They blow into the mouth of chickens for several seconds then seal it up so the air does not escape.

According to reports, chickens which weigh 2kg on the store scale drop to as little as 1.5kg when deflated at home. There are now concerns that as well as ripping the public off, the practise of inflating chickens could spread disease. Watch the video below:
