Last week angry farmers from Fukushima brought a large cow
to the centre of Tokyo- sounds funny but it's NOT! This cow & other
cattle had apparently developed “ white dots on their skin ” since the nuclear disaster after the
earthquake and tsunami of March 2011.
According to the farmers the cows cannot be shipped as meat
as they are evidence of lives affected by radiation. They are worried that this
could happen to people as well. Therefore it’s important to investigate the
cause asap. The white dots are visual, what about the unseen effects???? They are demanding the government to take serious action.
The vast farmland in Fukushima has been contaminated by
radioactive materials from the Fukushima plant, forcing thousands of local
residents to give up their homes to live in temporary shelters. The government
says it could take decades to clean the region, but scientists say many
residents may never be able to return because of the contamination. So if you
plan on travelling to Japan, avoid this area please….
