It was a scary time to be in Japan, although we were not affected as badly as other parts of Japan the effects of the Earthquake, and Tsunami impacted upon everyone. It was heart-breaking to see the Tsunami take so many lives and cause so much destruction. The Fukushima crisis was a continual confusion (and to this day I still don't feel safe to drink tap water). Nobody knew if they were really safe (even in Tokyo). We stopped drinking tap water, and took more notice of the city and country of origin of our food in the Supermarket.
In Fukushima many people were evacuated from the exclusion zones leaving behind their pets, and animals. There was no animal evacuation plan. This has resulted in many unnecessary animal deaths and immense suffering of both animals and their owners. There are thankfully some amazing volunteers who regularly go to feed the animals left behind, in hope they can make a difference. They have rescued many animals, and they continue to do so.
Evacuated people are still living in temporary homes, and shelters.
I hope and pray things will improve, and the lives of everyone directly affected by the Tsunami, and Fukushima crisis can soon regain some sense of normality.
