While the 20km around Japan's stricken Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear plant is now a virtual ghost town after being
evacuated of people due to radiation, many pets have not
been so lucky.
The massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that struck
Japan last March crippled the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
plant, triggering the world's worst nuclear crisis since the
Chernobyl disaster.
In the haste of evacuating thousands from around the plant,
hundreds of dogs and cats were left behind by people. Even
now, buildings still lay where they fell in the earthquake
and livestock roams the streets.
Almost one year on from the disaster, Yasunori Hoso and his
organisation United Kennel Club (UKC) Japan, have rescued
over 250 dogs and 100 cats from the zone and are still
looking after those living wild.
Once the animals are captured in the zone, they are taken
back to UKC Japan's main shelter south of Tokyo until their
families are found.
However, in many cases, even once an animal's family is
found they are unable to take back their pet as many live in
temporary housing that doesn't accept animals.
It takes nearly 100,000 yen (NZ$1,500) per day to feed the
menagerie of pets housed at the shelter, but Hoso said that
he would never put a time limit on how long he would keep
the pets.
"Being able to return them to their owner, and seeing the
family happy and seeing the dog happy, that's when I felt
that I was glad that I did all this," Hoso said.
He said the eventual goal of UKC Japan is to build a shelter
large enough to accept not only animals from Fukushima, but
around the country.
While the government announced that the Fukushima plant was
in a state of cold shutdown last December, the Environment
Ministry says about 2,400 square km of land around the plant
may need to be decontaminated.
