So, when the Government of Japan would like for you to think that it was euthanizing animals, and the animals suffering would end painlessly. THAT WAS A LIE. Here is a simple question for you – when you hold your breath, can you still think, feel, and be aware of what is happening around you? This is what is happening to the cattle. They are essentially being suffocated. Like drowning, but without the mess. So, while the animal is becoming panicked because it can’t breathe, do you think that since it’s panicking, it doesn’t count as suffering to the Government of Japan?
The description below if for a human but the effect would be the same for an animal.
Yes, you can overdose on muscle relaxers. It is always recommended that you follow the dosage recommended on the bottle, these dosages aren’t guidline…they’re lifelines because overdosing on any drug can be lethal.
Muscle relaxers when taken correctly can relieve a person from pain…either from tension or some other injury. Taking more than recommended however, puts your body in serious danger.
Breathing is done through a person’s diaphragm (the muscles between the ribs and the abdominal muscles), heart and lungs. Since the diaphragm is a muscle (as well as the heart and the lungs) overdosing on muscle relaxers (of any kind) can relax these very important muscles to the point where they are no longer working or no longer working hard enough to meet the body’s needs.
This is why it’s very important to pay attention to what your exact dosage is and any side effects you may have while on it (difficulty breathing, chest pain extreme drowsiness or dizziness etc.)
If a person suspected of muscle relaxer overdose is admitted to the ER it is considered a very serious thing (as with any other drug OD). Blood will be taken immediately to determine how much the person took and how much of the drug is in the blood stream. Breathing and heart rate will be closely monitored and oxygen will be given to make sure enough is getting to the brain. Since it takes 24-48 hours for the drugs to exit your system (though it relies a lot on how much was taken, how close together and when) hospitals will want to admit the patient to the ICU so that they can carefully monitor them for the duration recommended by the attending physician Large overdoses can cause a person to go into a coma and/or leave them with permanent brain, heart or liver damage.
It is a very serious thing. We are fortunate to be able to buy and use these drugs to help us when we need them however, we need to remember that we also have a responsibility to take any form of drug.

The HSUS considers the following euthanasia methods to be inhumane:
- Intracardiac injection on conscious animals.
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) where sodium pentobarbital is legally available.
- Gunshot—Gunshot is absolutely not acceptable for routine shelter euthanasia. Gunshot is only acceptable in an emergency field situation where an animal cannot be confined and transferred to the shelter, sodium pentobarbital is unavailable, and the personnel are well trained its use. This method is highly dangerous to personnel.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)—CO2 is not acceptable for use in animal care and control facilities for the euthanasia of dogs and cats. CO2 produced from dry ice or generated from any other method is unacceptable.
- T-61—T-61 is an unacceptable injectable drug combination containing a local anesthetic, a general anesthetic, and a neuromuscular blocking agent. It has been withdrawn from the market and is no longer manufactured or commercially available in the United States, but is still available in Canada and other countries. If improperly administered, T-61 can cause animals intense pain after administration and a curare-like paralysis of respiration (suffocation) before the animal loses consciousness.
- Other methods that The HSUS considers inhumane—and which are illegal in many if not most jurisdictions—include decompression, the use of kill traps, nitrous oxide, drowning, freezing, decapitation, cervical dislocation, thoracic compression, pithing, exsanguination, electrocution, air embolism, nitrogen flushing, strychnine, chloral hydrate, caffeine, nicotine, magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, succinylcholine chloride (Sucostrin, U-Tha-Sol, Anectine, Quelicin Chloride, Scoline Chloride), and any combination of sodium pentobarbital with a neuromuscular blocking agent.

The announcement from Kachiku-Otasuke-Tai.org was posted on a group site. The first 2 comments for the article were certainly not what I expected; they are made from 1 person ( 2 separate postings). The 3rd comment is a response to the first 2 comments.
Comments from 1st poster.
- Euthinize and kill mean the same thing. If these animals are contaminated they must be killed or their meat and milk will end up being eaten. But their disposal is also very important or it will end up in the food chain anyhow. 4 hours ago
- if you mean they are not killing them humaely but instead forcing them to die of starvation and thirst, then I do see your point and you are right that the farmers should negate their contract and get compensation and do their own slaughter. 4 hours ago
Comment from 2nd Poster.
- The animals are being deprived of food and water. Others are being injected with lethal doses of muscle relaxers. INHUMANE and CRUEL. The farmers were told that the animals would be euthanized meaning an end to their suffering, but there are some farmers that have been shaken up when they heard the animals screaming as they were being ” euthanized” by the Government officials. They were told that there would be no more pain for the animals, but the screams tell the farmers something different. As for putting the animals down, since they are “contaminated”, the Japanese animals rescuers and some farmers want to create a sanctuary for these animals. They would like to let them live out their lives since they have endured so much. An earthquake, tsunami, TEPCO’s nuclear disaster, the Government of Japan’s attempt to kill them by denying them care, and now the inhumane and cruel use of lethal doses of muscle relaxants. The animals don’t have to be killed as their meat or milk will end up being eaten. And, it is too late for worrying about the “death” ending up in the food chain. Did you not read how after the tsunami the birds were feeding on the fish that were scattered across the Fukushima nuclear plant’s ground? How about the rain and the soil contaminants washing into the ocean or rivers? Allowing the remaining animals to live will not change what has already happened, and your worry about preventing any contaminated animal from being eaten and ending up in the food chain is long past. Did you think about all the dead animals that were a result of the Government of Japan and the flies that visited them? Your chances of catching cancer are higher from eating deli meats with the added carcinogenic preservatives.. Do you get your nails done or dye your hair, they have carcinogens. It is always interesting to see that people get upset over something and yet voice nothing about the carcinogens that they apply to themselves for the sake of vanity.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2011
It’s buried in
my previous post about radioactive canned fish and wheelchair out of Tohoku as ODA, but this merits its own post because of its sheer absurdity.
(Who do you call someone who tweets, anyway?)
From Mainichi Shinbun (9/19/2011):
東日本大震災：「日本安全」つぶやいて 風評対策、海外からツイッター発信者ら招待
Tweet “Japan is safe” to dispel “baseless rumor”: Japan to invite Twitterers from overseas
外務省は、東京電力福島第１原発事故による日本の農 産物や観光などへの風評被害対策として、フェイスブックやツイッターなどソーシャルメディアの発信者を海外から招く準備に入った。世界で５億人以上が利用 するとされるソーシャルメディアが、中東政変などで大きな影響力を見せていることに着目した試験事業。被災地を回った発信者に、安全性や感動を伝えてもら うことで、風評被害の緩和を狙う。
Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs have started to make preparations for inviting people from overseas who disseminate information via the social media such as Facebook and Twitter, as part of the countermeasures against “baseless rumors” that have damaged sales of Japanese agricultural products and tourism industry. More than 500 million people in the world are said to use the social media. The ministry has seen the great impact of the social media in the revolutions in the Middle East, and decided to use the social media to counter the “baseless rumor” by having people disseminate the messages of safety and favorable impressions.
東日本大震災からの復旧に向けた１１年度第２次補正予算で、外務省は風評対策のため、１５億円を計上した。外務省として初めての発信者招待は、この対策の一環。
In the second supplementary budget for the fiscal year 2011, the ministry obtained 1.5 billion yen for the countermeasures against “baseless rumors”. This plan to invite Facebook and Twitter users with large followers is part of the countermeasures.
１１月ごろから、欧米や中国、中東などから、読者の多い発信者約１５人を数回に分けて、福島、宮城、岩手県などに招く方向で、在外公館を通じて参加者を選ぶ。
Starting November, the ministry will invite the total of about 15 people over time from Europe, the United States, China and the Middle East who have large Facebook or Twitter followers. They will be selected by the Japanese embassies and consulates overseas, and they will be invited to Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate Prefectures.
ソーシャルメディア関係者が、日本に好意的な書き込みをする保証はないが、外務省の担当課は「現地に足を運び、特産物を食べてもらった上での発信だけに、風評ではない信頼性の高い内容になる可能性が高い。迅速、大量、広範囲に情報を届けることもできるはず」と期待。さらに、海外の新聞やテレビ関係者を数十人ずつ被災地に招き、より広範囲に日本の農産物、観光情報を発信したい考えだ。
There is no guarantee that these social media users will disseminate messages that are favorable to Japan. But the section in charge of the project at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is hopeful that “They will send out messages after they actually visit the places and eat the local specialty food. We believe that the messages will be more credible, not the baseless rumor. The messages will be sent out fast, in great numbers, and widely”. In addition, the Ministry will invite foreign media – newspapers and TV stations – to the disaster affected areas, so that they can send out information on Japanese agricultural products and tourism to a wider audience.
風評対策事業ではこのほか、日本産品の安全性を伝える著名人のテレビコマーシャルを海外で流し、各国の在外公館で被災地産品の物産展や試食会の開催も計画している。
Other countermeasures against “baseless rumors” include airing TV commercials outside Japan using celebrities telling the foreign viewers how safe the Japanese goods are, and fairs and food tasting events at the Japanese embassies and consulates overseas that feature the goods and produce from the disaster-affected areas.
So the Ministry correctly identified the social media like Facebook and Twitter that played a significant role in the Middle East uprisings. What they have chosen to ignore was that the social media was used by the protesters as a countermeasure to the government propaganda, not the other way around.
Using the same budget, the Ministry is hiring two people with collage or graduate degrees to tweet in English on behalf of the Ministry, and take care of these social media foreign visitors when they come. The message that they should tweet is about how charming Japan is and how well it has recovered from the earthquake/tsunami disaster. The position is temporary, lasting 6 months starting October 3, and you are to work 5 days a week excluding weekends and holidays for up to 29 hours per week. One hour lunch break. English proficiency is a must.
If you think you’ve got what it takes to do the government propaganda, contact:
外務省外務省大臣官房広報文化交流部総合計画課 経理庶務班
電話番号：03-5501-8127
ファックス：03-5501-8126
I wonder who will appear in the commercials? Which celebrity will be purchased? Anyone that you would recommend?
