Man caring for abandoned cattle in Fukushima

TOKYO, Japan - In this photo taken in the town of Tomioka, Fukushima Prefecture, on June 22, 2012, Naoto Matsumura (C) and his friend Kazuo Endo (R) help a pony onto a truck so he can take it home and care for it, doing so at the request of a resident (L) who has returned home temporarily.
