unsure how to answer this question

8. Short-run and long-run effects of a shift in demand
Suppose that the perfectly competitive chicken industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $3 per kilogram of chicken and a quantity of 600 million
kilograms per year. Suppose Health Canada issues a report saying that eating chicken is bad for your health.
Health Canada's report will cause consumers to demand less chicken at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by
producing less chicken and running at a loss
Shift the supply curve, the demand curve, or both on the following diagram to illustrate these short-run effects of Health Canada's announcement.
Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back
to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
