Fukushima farmers reluctant to leave cows

IITATE, Japan - Cattle farmer Toyohiro Sato feeds cows in the village of Iitate in Fukushima Prefecture, which is largely within the 30-to-50 kilometers range from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, on April 12, 2011. The government plans to issue an evacuation directive to the village due to high radiation levels, leaving many farmers concerned about what to do with the 2,500 cows in the village. Sato, 29, said he has affection for the cows he has raised and he wished there is a way to take them with him. (Kyodo)
