The state government of Fukushima has responded to its resident’s calls to humanely put down animals abandoned in the 20km radiation evac zone.   Many have already died of starvation, after being left alone for several weeks.

The operation began today, 25 April.  Veterinarians will put down weakened animals, move animals that still look healthy into barns, and begin decontamination of dead animals.

Officials think it will take until the end of May to complete the operation.  They also say no animal will be put down without the owner’s knowledge.  NHK video
