Fukushima Victims: Many cows and animals are dying...

I saw a very shocking news footage on TV  just now.
Many cows are dying with no food, water, and care.

I knew of the situation from other news sources here and there, but seeing them with your own eyes.... My heart aches so much.

I know that the top priority should be placed on saving human lives, but.... still cannot help thinking that some measures could have been taken for these innocent animals who could not voice their needs.  Be it transferring to other farms or even euthanizing...

"These animals are part of my family," says a livestock farmer crying.  It must be so hard for them to just let their animals suffer and die.

As of today, Japanese government completely banned any entry into the 20km radius evacuation zone.
 
Farmers who entered the zone from time to time to watch over their cattle by risking radiation can no longer feed them....
Many animal rescue volunteers can no longer save stranded dogs and cats.

Animals are also victims of Fukushima crisis.


I could not find the same video footage, but this is what's happening in Fukushima evacuation zone.

It's tough to watch, but we should never forget this reality.



Here are the latest reports on the quake victims in Japan.
