Hiroshi Hoshi and Ruriko of Hachiko Coalition deny warnings about cattle deaths..what really is going on?

April 6, 2013

groupdiscussionThe photo is a group discussion, included in this discussion is Naoto Matsumura, his friend Endo-san, Mr. Yoshizawa, and last, the man in blue, the Japan Veterinary Medical Association representative.  The Japan Veterinary Medical Association is actively using animals, like the cattle, for their “effects of cesium on animals” research.

Hiroshi Hoshi and Ruriko of Hachiko Coalition denied the warnings and information that Kachiku-Otasuke-Tai.org kept trying to tell everyone.  Kachiku-Otasuke-Tai.org was one of the FIRST organizations created to help the Fukushima cattle.  Kachiku-Otasuke-Tai.org was a Japanese organization that was created to Save the Fukushima Livestock and are AGAINST animal testing. AND YET, later taking credit FOR TRYING TO HELP THE CATTLE is none other than Hiroshi Hoshi , who begins to rescue cattle, in the mean-time Kachiku-Otasuke-Tai.org is forgotten.  And, everyone cheers Hiroshi Hoshi for helping the cattle, but what was the real reason?  (And, lurking in the background : Ruriko.  Ruriko who is friends with the veterinarians that are “saving” animals by using them for research according to her comments. And, there was that article about Hoshi stopping by to give money to Naoto Matsumura, who is NOW working with only cattle. For the academic researchers to publish articles on the effects of radiation on Fukushima animals, they need animals; even better when they can get others to keep and feed them while they conduct their “research” of the effects of radiation, cesium, on the Left-behind Fukushima animals. So, conveniently, the plan changes to “we will save the cattle” and un-spoken : so that we can use them for research. And, everyone cheers because they are not longer being Killed outright, now they can be used for research.)

Warning by Kachiku-Otasuke-Tai.org: September 2011.

 This is a immediate request. We would like to ask farmers who agreed with euthanizing livestock. We have information that from Sept 20th the authorities plan to euthanize a large number of livestock in Minami Souma city, Futaba gun, Taruha gun. If you are please void your agreement as soon as possible. They are not euthanizing them. They are killing them. Even though you do not agree with euthanizing them you will be able to receive payment for damages.

(Please note that this is the MOST important reason for Hoshi, the use of the photos for what he writes.  But, why did he think that they were lying?  My guess, none other than Ruriko, a member of both Hoshi’s group and Kachiku-Otasuke-Tai.org.  However, since Hoshi was doing better with the “public” and Kachiku-Otasuke-Tai.org was against using animals for Research, it is no surprise to see that Ruriko went with Hoshi.)

  • お断り 家畜お助け隊のリンク Please do not post URL of the website for Kachiku Otasuke Tai by 福島原発被害の動物たち on Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 3:41pm ·
 皆様にお願い、私こと、「星広志」と「福島原発被害の動物達」のfacebookに,もう家畜お助け隊のリンクを張り付けないでください。I, Hiroshi Hoshi, would like to ask everyone.  Please do not post anymore the link of the website for Kachiku Otasuke Tai on FB page of 「福島原発被害の動物達」 and HOSHI HIROSHI.
理由1. 写真を無断借用されました。知らなかったという話でしたが、実際には知っていて知らんふりしていたことが分かったからです。Reason 1; They used our photos without permission.  They said they did not know but I found out that they knew.
理由2. 誤報が多く、情報が信用できません。ここにリンクを張られると、読んだ人が事実と勘違いするのは困ります。Reason 2: They release wrong information.  If they are post on here readers would believe these information.
理由3. 所在地を明らかにしないホームページは不信の元となります。Reason 3: The website without the address would cause people not trust it.
理由4. これまで何度も連絡を取り合いましたが、回答が不誠実です。Reason 4: I have contacted them but I did not get answers.
理由5. 救う事もできないうちに20円募金で餌代を得ようとすることに疑問があります。M牧場や希望の牧場は実際に牛を維持するために餌代が欲しいのです。牛もいないのに、支援金を集める行為に賛同できません。Reason 5: They do not have intention to rescue livestock but they are collecting 20 yen donation for food.  M farm and Farm of hope actually keep livestock so they need support on food.  Without livestock I do not agree with them collecting donation. ( The farm that they mention IS using their cattle for research, they made an agreement with the Japan Veterinary Medical Asssociation.)
理由6. これまでに何度も牛を助ける助言をしました。しかし、いつも回答がありません。Reason 6: I gave many suggestions to them but I do not get answers from them.
理由7. 牛が苦しんで殺されたという内容に偽りがあるからです。初期にはそのようなことがありましたが、最近の物は、実際には安楽死です。何でも同情を得ようとする姿勢に賛同できません。Reason 7: The information they released that livestock were destroyed in pain is wrong.  In the beginning it was true but recently they were euthanized.  I do not agree with the way they are trying to get sympathy no matter what.
申し訳ございませんが、家畜お助け隊のリンクを見つけたときは削除させていただきます。その活動は自由ですから、これ以上言う事は避けますが、牛を助けたいという気持ちには偽りはないとは思います。でも、その方法に賛同できないという事、HOSHI FAMILYの活動を信じてくださる方への誤解を避けたいということだけですので、ご理解ください。So from now on I will delete any links of Kachiku Otasuke Tai on the page.  I would not say anything what they do and I think they truly want to rescue livestock.  But I do not agree with the way they do and I do not want to give readers who support HOSHI FAMILY wrong information.  So please understand.
  • Comments from Ruriko

I just wanted to say a quick thing  Do not take me wrong but I think we might be a bit tone down for calling K as a lair…. I know many groups said that these fences seemed very suspicious (because I am a member of Kachiku Otasuke Tai so I know they had photos etc), but there is no concrete evidence to call him a lair. Believe or not what we said in public especially on the website we have to take a full responsibility for it. So I would not call him a lair if we do not have a concrete evidence (for example, I am not convinced that the amount of blood in the photo kills a cow since I work with horses and they get cut by themselves by scratching fences or branches and I have seen that they get breeding that much and I get cut one time pretty badly and I got that much blood out before as well. I do not think it would kill a cow)
Dr Imamoto said it is very much fact that local farmers were completely confused and tired of all of this. So I think we have to be very very very careful (I think HOSHI san was very upset at Kachiku Otasuke Tai because they release info without verifying them. This causes much much much more harm).
So I would not call him a liar yet…..

  • Comments from 2 members of the Hachiko Coalition, aka Hachiko Animal Federation

Ruriko

I will take a look at them.I really hope we can get grant to conduct research on cows and pigs especially piglets and baby cows in order to save them…..

Inez

We have been working on two things: 1) Developing/modeling an emergency evacuation plan for livestock during a nuclear disaster and 2) Learning from the animals (livestock currently in the affected zone) in relation to the effects of radiation.

Inez

In this project, we are trying to figure out how we can study the effects of the radiation on the already contaminated animals, ensuring at the same time that the surviving animals are left to live out their years in pasture, while being monitored and studies for certain effects of radiation

Inez

what we spoke about today during our meeting, was that livestock should have been evacuated early on to prevent irreversible and damaging effects from the radiation but the goverment and tepco were slow to provide a solution, cattle were not evacuated at this point, we also found out that cesium 137 is absorbed into the muscle in 24 hrs, so it was important to take the animals out, decontaminate them with certain compounds to render the milk and meat useful, instead of leaving them there for 9 months and having to euthanize them.

Ruriko

So instead we can actually study affects on infants and pregnant livestock

Ruriko

So if you intake cesium or other radiation your organs would take them as their particles and instead of getting rid of them they stay inside of the body like in muscle.

Inez

So, Ruriko proposed studying the effects on baby animals and pregnant ones.yes, that’s right. Then the meat is rendered useless and they have to resort to euthanasia correct me if I am wrong, R.

Rurko

For already contaminated livestock reached to steady states it is very hard to clean thesre radiation out.

Inez

So, there is a need for an evacuation model for livestock and a study on the radiation affects on the progeny of these affected animals still in the zone reproducing. So, I would say that this is why they are euthanizing so many of the cattle and pigs. All this could have been prevented. It hurts to think about it.

Ruriko

I do not think we talk about euthanizing them. We are writing on the plan to evacuate them outside of the exclusion zone as soon as possible.ALso for another research with wesley we will try to save them not kill them this is all we can do to save them (especially babies)

I had said earlier that there was no need to kill them to study radiation as researchers could study everything they needed to know from the existing living animals, i.e. blood samples, hair and other body fluids. They could do biopsies if needed but no need to kill. You want to rescue and save in a sanctuary so that the short and long term effects of the radiation are followed. That’s what I understood.

Ruriko

Yes he is one of the research group in Kitazato universityNot for NPO’s but University. Basically they do not allow any groups except research groups. This is why I am trying very hard to get a grant so that we can go in to rescue them.Like ·  · Share · Yesterday at 4:13am

Despite what is said in the above conversation, the cattle used for the articles that have been published are killed so that their tissue can be examined.  This was done to the adult cattle, pregnant cattle and babies in the published studies.  In this discussion, they mention removing the animals, but this was never the truth since MAFF had already made their decision to NOT allow any “livestock” out of the area.)


Don’t let yourself become EXPLOITED by others that are Manipulating your love for Animals.

On a Japanese blog, the blogger wrote about how the world’s internet users are being exploited by their inability to read Japanese.  They write that it is difficult for the world’s internet users to get the right information.  The blogger goes on to say that this inability to read another language has made a huge gap between what is true and what is being made up. I absolutely agree.

For instance, the initial poster that was being distributed for individuals to sign the Free Hoshi petition was the poster below.  Why?

photo2petition

The answer is that the Unknowing public will be more sympathetic. The focus is on the photos, not the wording.   They may not speak or read English and will see 2 FEMALES.  It’s an easier SELL.  If it looks AS IF 2 FEMALES had been arrested, why wouldn’t the public be outraged. And, it sure does look better than  Hiroshi and Leo Hoshi, in real life.   This poster seems to have been removed, and the photo changed on the petition page.  WHY?  The person on the right side of the petition, the one with the cat, IS NOT EVEN a HOSHI or HOSHI FAMILY MEMBER.  Poof, another change made when this was pointed out.  Manipulation at its best.

The Hoshi Family denied Bail for a 3rd Time.

March 28, 2013

lightningboltwham

According to “The animals of the Fukushima nuclear damage”, bail for the third time today is rejected, the 2nd trial court session at 3:00 pm 4/16.

In his letter,Hiroshi Hoshi wrote :

“ We heard that there was somebody, who had worked with Hoshi family before, who said that “the Hoshi’s were arrested because of their own fault”. I am shocked  by this person’s comment who had worked with the Hoshi family.  It is something comparable to abandoning a comrade.”  (The letter appeared in FaceBook page Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Animals.)

The problem with this is that this is not the only person that has made a complaint about the Hoshi Family and how they managed the animals that they “rescued” from the Fukushima Nuclear Zone.  There has been many disenchanted Hoshi followers that have left.  Recently, there was a complaint about 8 cats that were rescued by the Hoshi family and kept in terrible conditions.  The “CLEAN-UP” crew for the Hoshi Family quickly turned the story into something else, so that the actual issue of the cats living in filth was quickly forgotten.

The Hoshi Family story has many followers.  Some of them are concerned for the Fukushima animals.  Others are anti-nuclear followers and believe that Hoshi would be able to help the anti-nuclear movement.  I am anti-nuclear but would not use the suffering of the Fukushima animals for this.  Yes, they are victims of the a nuclear disaster, but the issue is removing the animals from the radiated areas, something that has already been done for the people.  They are not blockaded in these areas.  Some of these same anti-nuclear individuals have no problem with using the animals for “research” purposes because it will help people exposed.   How many years of research do you need?  Radiation research has been going on for at least 100 years.  There is no getting around the fact that exposure to Radioactive substances causes health issues, especially when that is high exposure or continued exposure.  Damage at a GENETIC level is not reversible.  Damage is done.  LEAVE THE ANIMALS ALONE.
