The cattles in the contaminated area in Fukushima were abandoned and then the government decided to kill them all. But there are some people who have refused to do so. I listened to a speech of one of those people today.
His name is Yoshizawa and he has been a manager of a ranch in Namie town in Fukushima, which is 14km from the power plant that exploded. Though the area is seriously contaminated, he has stayed at the ranch and kept feeding the cattle. Of course the cattle have no value for sale.
He is angry with the government and the Tokyo Electric Co. that destroyed everything of the area but have evading the responsibility of the fact. And, he is also angry with Tokyo, which has used the electricity from Fukushima and enjoyed the prosperity, forgetting the fact in Fukushima. So he goes to the government and the TEC to make protests. He also goes to many places to tell the people his story. He makes speeches in Shibuya in Tokyo, that is one of the most crowded place in Japam.
He said, "Let's speak loud and clear, not just complain." He named his ranch "Kibo no Bokujo Fukushima",it means" Ranch of Hope Fukushima" . His speech encouraged me though he is suffering and in the desperate situation himself.
