LEFT TO DIE? ANIMALS of JAPAN: QUAKE, TSUNAMI, RADIATION

LEFT TO DIE? ANIMALS of JAPAN: QUAKE, TSUNAMI, RADIATION

Left To Die? Animals Of Japan Quake, Tsunami, Radiation



LIVES UNSEEN IN NUCLEAR GHOST TOWNS

Starving. Scared. Waiting. Animals are trapped in evacuated cities inside a 20km (soon to expand) radius around Fukushima?s shattered nuclear power plant. Since a 9.0 earthquake and tsunami (3/11/11) crushed over 400 miles of northeastern Japan coast, the damaged plant continues to emit inivisible rays. Residents are gone. But life is evident in these ghost towns. Some 4,000 cows, 31,000 pigs, 630,000 chickens, 100 horses ? along with 5,800 registered dogs and an unknown number of cats ? live unseen. They are without food, water, care or comfort.

Kinship Circle was the first U.S. animal organization in Japan for ongoing search-rescue- aid. We are a 501c3 nonprofit working with Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support (JEARS) coalition groups in the field. PHOTOS: (C) Kinship Circle, Japan 2011



4/21/11: Japan activates nuclear emergency law for a 12-mile (20km) radius around Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant. Authorities crack down on trespassers, including almost 80,000 residents under mandatory evacuation. The new edict shuts out animal rescuers too. Kinship Circle, working with JEARS, rescued exclusion-zone animals until the law activated with heavily policed checkpoints and up to $1,200 in fines and 30 days in jail. With Tyveck suits and radiation safety gear on hand, we wait. And explore relationships with authorities to gain entry into the exclusion zone. Sometimes roaming animals wander outside the no-go zone. They are the lucky ones.



4/27/11: Japan government will rescue exclusion-zone animals found outdoors, weak or injured. Animals will go to health centers (animal control). The fate of highly radiated animals is unknown. Reports (so far) reveal low levels in animals.
