Animal Lovers Raid Fukushima to Save Radioactive Dogs

There may bemany lost animals of Fukushima , but you’re able to strickle two off that tilt : daring civilians spotted two barker on a Fukushima livestream , then slipped behind nuclear note to rescue the “ atomic dogs . ” This , my Quaker , is heroism .

The doggie raiders , part of the Hachiko Coalition of Japanese animal welfare partizan , infiltrated the voiding dead zone ( and the perimeter of the works itself ) in search of two dogs they caught on the plant ’s livewebcam , roaming without food , care , or trade protection from constant radiation syndrome .

According to the Hachiko crew ( itself named after a beloved Japanese dog , legendary in the chronological record of cuspid story ) , these dogs were not only a tragical sight , but posed a threat to humans — what happened if they got dosed up on radiation and then wandered back to civilization ? TEPCO and the Japanese government have been letting critters rove free this entire clip , despite duplicate calls for a thorough beast remotion design .

So they did it themselves . don hazmat suit , the Tennessean drove to the plant , found the dogs , and hotfoot out of there to a nearby veterinary hospital , where the two dog-iron were decontaminated and do by for their radiation vulnerability . The furry couple receive two and three μSv of irradiation severally , which is low for humans , but for dogs — we’re not certain . We ’ll keep racetrack of the nuclear pair for you , but for now , they come along to be felicitous , goodly and in ( non - radioactive ) hand .

This is probably the single happy story to come out of Fukushima , so go forward and souse it up . [ viaHachiko alignment ]
