Although the Government of Japan said that it was unable to help the farm animals, it managed to have Minami Soma pigs transferred to a Tokyo University farm in Ibaraki Prefecture [presumably for animal experiments on radiation exposure.]

This article shows the lies behind the Government rescue stories.  The Headquarters for the Relief of Animals in Emergencies all defer to the Ministry of Environment.  Minister of the Environment is Goshi Hosono.  The Government claims of not being able to help the farm animals are lost when you see that they managed to transfer some pigs that they wanted to use for radiation testing.  They found the ability to move these animals, but only because it served their purpose.  The nightmare that the owners of these animals have endured could have been resolved long ago, but since the Ministry of Environment, and Minister of Environment, Goshi ” like to watch the animals die” Hosono, did not want to invest the resources to manage the animal situation, many of the animals suffered and died.

This is clearly an example of the lies that have been told about how they care about the people who have been displaced by TEPCO.  There is nothing shown by the Government of Japan and the Minister of Environment, Goshi ” I like to eat mochi cakes while I watch the animals die” Hosono that would back that claim.  The action of taking the pigs shows a clear picture of hypocrisy.

INTERNET CLAIMS OF RADIATION ZONE RESCUE. NONE WHOLLY VERIFIED:
▶ Four government-sponsored groups under the banner Headquarters for the Relief
    of Animals in Emergencies
 — Japan Animal Welfare Society, Japan Veterinary
Medical Association, Japan Pet Care Association, Japan SPCA — are prepared
to “receive animals” and provide pet food, but not enter the zone itself or take in
strays. They defer rescue to Japan’s Ministry of Environment.

▶ However, a Fukushima emergency shelter for “owned” animals exists. When 
     leader Susan Roberts, (Japan Cat Network) met with Fukushima officials in
     early May, she viewed photos of 50 exclusion-zone animals in a well-equipped
warehouse shelter. Susan noted that many had been rescued BEFORE the 20km

     zone was sealed. An official told her they are now here to consolidate efforts. It was
     confirmed that no animal groups will gain permission to enter the sealed zone.

▶ We have no proof that significantly more animals are now at this shelter. This does
     not mean they are not there; we simply cannot verify their presence. Similarly,
     ground teams can’t authenticate if government workers are rescuing/feeding in the
     20km, though one unsubstantiated report says 27 animals were recently retrieved.

▶ 5/18/11: Japan Rep. Tamaki states that next home visit to Tamuramachi is 5/22/11,
     too long for animals to wait. With cooperation of JVMA, Tokyo and other prefectures,
     they plan to enter earlier. Rep. Tamaki also asks municipalities to feed and water
     animals. He says they are “moving forward to save lives.”

▶ 5/17/11: The Japanese Veterinary Medical Association announces sign-up for
veterinarians to enter the radiation zone, per request from Japan’s Ministry of

     Environment. A pet rescue plan for Tamura shi, with JVMA, Fukushima Veterinary
     Veterinary Association and other voluntary vets, is discussed.

▶ 5/10/11: Fuji TV News Network reports that evacuees can retrieve cats, dogs and
     other companions when they temporarily return to homes in 9 cities, including
     Tamura and Minami Soma, vacated after the “Fukushima No. 1 Reactor Accident.” 
     Ministry of Environment and Fukushima Prefecture are to coordinate rescue of pets
     ”tied to ropes.” Minami Soma pigs are to be transferred to a Tokyo University farm
     in Ibaraki Prefecture [presumably for animal experiments on radiation exposure.]

▶ 5/5/11: Photos are released of animals evacuated from the radiation zone and
     moved into the Fukushima government-sponsored warehouse shelter.

This is an older article but still has great impact. From the Kinship Circle: 5/22/11, WE ARE WITNESS — INSIDE THE RADIATION EXCLUSION ZONE.

5/22/11, WE ARE WITNESS — INSIDE THE RADIATION EXCLUSION ZONE
She lies on her side, eyes wide with fear. Her utter is inflamed and bones protrude. She is dying. We have hay for her, but it is too late. Once a cow is “down” organs compress against organs and slowly shut down. She breathes in ragged spurts and her body shakes. I kneel down to stroke her beautiful and bewildered face. My voice calms her, so I ask if she’d been a mother. “It’s okay, you can let go now. Please sleep, so it won’t hurt any more.” When I shift positions, the downed cow struggles to stand. Does she know my tears are for her? Does she know that in her final glimpse, she is not alone?

I am in Fukushima, Japan — inside the 20km radiation exclusion zone. I am where I am not supposed to be. I am a witness.

All cows in this barn had been stall confined until our local guide freed them during secret trips. The exclusion zone spans Futuba, Katsurao, Namie, Kuma, Tomioka…and segments of Minamisoma. We cannot imagine how many more have died like this cow. On weekends, the only time he can come, our guide brings hay. He parks some distance from the exclusion border to journey inside by foot or scooter. He lugs 30 liters of water. But it is not enough. One black and white cow is frozen over an empty water trough, her body twisted in its last pursuit of water. A dead bull rots on the ground. No one else has come to the aid of these animals…

Goshi Hosono is at work again. This time to set the stage for Poisoning the “FERAL” animals in the Fukushima Exclusion Zone.

September 23, 2011

Goshi Hosono is the Minister of Environment and Nuclear Crisis Management.  He is the man that is behind the Animal slaughter.  His department is the great GENERATOR of PROPAGANDA to scare and worry people about the great “FERAL” animal explosion.    ”FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN—The Fukushima prefectural government and the Environment Ministry are trying to capture hundreds of pet dogs believed to be living feral in the no-entry zone around the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, but their efforts are being frustrated by the animals themselves.”
