In case you haven’t heard, Japan is having several crises at once. A massive earthquake, a killer Tsunami, and the possibility of multiple meltdowns at their nuclear facilities.
The death toll is estimated to be around 10,000 people. It is a tragedy we cannot possibly imagine.
And while we should be concerned about helping the people of Japan, we should also be concerned about the animals. The Japanese people are noted for their love of dogs and cats, and I am certain that many Japanese citizens need us to help with make sure their beloved animals are safe.
If you would like to help, please visit this link at the Pet Captain blog for links to various animal rescue groups that are operating in Japan.
This is a major tragedy. And the people and animals of Japan need all the support we can offer.
This is awful.
Japan authorities always played the roll everything is safe and in controll in Japanese power plants (like they seem to play every where till it blows).
I think those coastal power plants should have been strenghten or even turned down after the Thailand tsunam in 2004.
People in and around the Atlantic Ocean better know that tsunams can happen and have happened here also.
Power plants are built on coasts, beacause they need massive amounts of water (and “nuclear power energy” is nothing but making energy out of boiling water).
They now have been cooling the reactors with extra sea water. And according to a BBC interview, no one seem to know if the polluted sea water has got back in the nature, and how much.
