Animals Suffering in Japan

[cat117]

I have just read the following on PetaAsiaPacific.com (PETA Asia Pacific ) and find it very upsetting that the Japanese government is not taking action to help the farm animals which are inside the 20-kilometre no-go zone of the Fukushima power plant. Many farm animals are dying of starvation and dehydration due to the government not allowing the animals to be transferred to a safe place where they can be cared for. Please follow the link and urge the Japanese government to take immediate action to stop these poor animals suffering.

Clearly because the poster posted the same thing multiple times. I generously erased all but one of the several posts made saying the exact same thing.

I have not seen the other posts but it is worrying if these animals are abandoned and left to starve to death. Better to put them to sleep than to neglect them if they are still incarcerated in Pens etc.

if they're starving to death how are they still alive almost 2 months later?

clearly all farm-animals are completely incapable of eating the grass around them without the aid of people, specialized people no less

they're still alive 2 months later because a long long drawn out death is much more dramatic than simple starving after a few days... how else could the media, and people who love nothing more than to bitch about nonsense, make anything of it?

lets hope you are right and that they did die if they were not saved.

Cattle have a hard enough existence already--


I wonder how much is actually being done for all those farmers if they cannot return to their homes.

Will they be allocated somewhere else to set up again?

what if there Is no Grass or other fodder for the animals and also it would be contaminated.

I am afraid that starvation is also a way that many old people are encouraged to die, rather than give them an easy way out--I am not talking about Japan here either.

Nil by Mouth-- slow death. surely it should be illegal but it happens

James-- maybe it should be YOU who were penned up and left with nothing to eat-- then call it Nonsense.

That sounds entirely reasonable and perfectly sensible.

The animals immediately affected by the tsunami died in that moment as did the people around them.

Those that survived the event likely starved and died within a few days after the event.

Those which are still alive today are those which were not hit by the tsunami, had food the entire time, and still do have food.

There is no logical or reasonable argument for why any of these "poor" animals would have survived until today and suddenly now need our help.

The OP's kind of plea is a common call to a basic emotional response of protect those which can't protect themselves etc etc

You've fallen into it face first, stand up and think please.
