The YouTube video embedded in a recent UK Progressive article about Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe features a dairy farmer from a short distance downwind of the castrophically leaking reactors. Despite government orders to kill his cows, he refuses to, saying emotionally that keeping his herd alive is his only protest against Tokyo Electric Power Company and the Japanese federal government. He is calling for his herd to be used for research on how bad the radioactive contamination is in the area, in order to better protect people. The video also contains disturbing stories about the conditions for livestock on his neighbors' abandoned farms.
