Request 5: Please euthanize them by taking steps so that they would not be in pain from the view of animal welfare.

Answer: We conduct the processes according to OIE. This consists of three steps: Calm them -> Anastasia -> Muscle relaxant.

(We saw photos of cows tied legs)
* These were after they died. In order to move the bodies. It is impossible to tie legs when they are alive and we will not do such a thing.
* We usually do not leave bodies but because of radiation we might have to cut off work.
* We use muscle relaxant so that it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for a cow to die.
* Each local government has different way to take care of bodies.
