The story of a Japanese man that lives in the Fukushima 12.5mile exclusion zone. He started four years ago. He takes care of the
animals left behind, and for many of the animals he is the only source of food.

7. Here you go

Please click the yellow button on the left side of the top page. It is in French.

Unfortunately, it is only in French, and it is a little difficult to navigate. There is an English translation that is toward the bottom of the home page (before you click the yellow button)

6. He is a genuine hero in my book.

I saw footage of cows locked up and left behind. Half of them already dead, the rest clearly in distress. Animals always take the brunt of tragedies of this magnitude.

8. There is another guy in Fukushima who does similar work

His group is called "Kibou no Bokujo" or "Farm of Hope" and he is on the other side of the reactors.

9. It's nice knowing these poor creatures left behind are being cared for.

It's a worthy cause to support. I am moved to donate whatever I can spare.
