Today is the 4th year since The Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Let me say a few words on this occasion, in particular concerning the future prospects of Inuneko Kyusainowa as it relates to Fukushima.
I sincerely thank the supporters who continue to enable the the rescue of suffering animals in such a severe time.
It’s been 4 years since The Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster.
It’s been 4 years since I have been dashing about in Fukushima.
And now.
I want to tell you what I am thinking now.
When I started this activity in Fukushima, I thought it could be completed in 3 years.
But the first year, the second year…I couldn’t foresee the future.
Still now, so many lives are left, and it is not possible to stop this activity.
However, I sometimes feel the limits of my age and strength.
I often felt my life would be over before the lives of these animals.
The activity in Fukushima has no end.
But I wanted to get closer to some kind of resolution.
Now I can see that my body can be used one more year.
My body and mind are so exhausted.
But I can get by with volunteers who do this activity with me.
Each time, so many precious lives are rescued from nationalization areas and difficult to return areas.
I think my body can go on one more year, rescuing cats from Fukushima.
I do my best with my every effort.
I can rescue at least 100 cats in one year.
I have to.
The rescue activity in Fukushima by Inuneko Kyusainowa could be thought to be completed after the 5th year since the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster. But still there would be cats remaining, and we can’t fully stop.
I’ll do what I can do, like going there sometimes with other volunteers, and taking in cats, or finding their foster families.
I’ll step back, but continue to support the activity.
I won’t stop.
I can’t stop.
This is who I am.
I, Akiko Yui, will be 60 years old this year.
2 months before the Great East Japan Earthquake happened I collapsed from a stroke.
But I dragged my body up and went to Fukushima.
It’s been 4 years since then.
Nothing can be done if I do not keep myself alive.
I do what I can, to the best of my ability.
But if I’m not alive, I can’t do this.
For the 5th year in Fukushima, I’ll make even more efforts to rescue abandoned cats.
Dear supporters, please do not forget that abandoned cats are still living in desperation, in towns without people in Fukushima.
Please, please support us.
Thank you so much.
Akiko Yui, Inuneko Kyusainowa
At the day of 4th year since The Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear disaster.
