Headlines never cease to amaze me for their inaccuracy when it comes to what the story is really about. This story is not just about milk, it's about the aftermath of what has happened in Japan.
On top of that, there a couple shots of left behind dogs that I can't get out of my mind.
Perhaps because it is so opposite of practically every child in danger or dog in danger story where the dog or the child is taken away from their home by one of dozens of nefarious forces or situations.
In this instance, the dogs are just, left behind.
Incredibly, these dogs have become accidental radioactive test subjects, were they not to presumably die from starvation first.
Three scenarios that come to mind. One, just ignore the dogs, as apparently has been done in some abandoned cities near the nuclear reactor sites in Japan. Two, supply the dogs with local food, leave them there, then periodically test them for radioactivity, or three, PICK THEM UP!
Of the three, leaving the dogs behind and not feeding them seems the cruelest because it makes their lives less meaningful on a social and international level, and along with the radioactivity they are enduring that will probably affect their physical health, also harms the dogs psychologically.
