If you are on the West Coast of the USA, please CALL THE JAPAN CONSULATE in Los Angeles on FRIDAY & tell them:
DON'T SEAL-OFF THE ANIMALS IN THE FUKUSHIMA EXCLUSION ZONE!
Leave a polite but firm message, asking them to allow responsible registered animal-groups to continue to rescue, decontaminate & remove surviving animals: 213-617-6700
Please don't forget - by Monday new laws may block all access, & surviving animals will be doomed.
Q.: What kind of treatment is the "decontamination process?"
A.: Scan with a Geiger, bathe the animal, blood
test, treat if necessary with iodine to bump the Io-131, check for persistent contamination, scan stools for a few days for radioisotopes.
So far, all the dogs, cats, etc, removed, have been able to return to their families, or can be cared for by volunteers & rescue groups; they are not in iso.
Leaving them there to starve is not IMO any answer at all; of they will NOT remove them, they should start killing them - NOW. it's been a bloody month-plus without regular food & clean water; p*ss*ng away more time is pointless. Fetch them out, or kill them there; NOW. Stop ignoring, overlooking or pretending they aren't there.
Many have had to resort to cannibalism to survive this far.There are some atrocious vids on youtube of what these animals have had to cope with in recent weeks.
