Estimated Number of Animals Left Behind
Prior to the civilian evacuation, we estimate 3,500 cows, 30,000 pigs, 440,000 chickens, and 5,800 registered dogs in the nine impacted prefecture areas. Accounting for unregistered dogs, one SPCA estimated there might have been 10,000 dogs within the area. If we include cats, we estimate more than 20,000 dogs and cats lived in the exclusion zone (20km zone). By the August 2011, more than 2,000 dogs and cats were rescued and about 90% of them were rescued by volunteer groups. Most of pigs and chickens have died. We estimate about 1,000 cows are alive in the exclusion zone.
