Abandoned animals in Fukushima

TOKYO, Japan - In this photo taken in the town of Tomioka, Fukushima Prefecture, on June 23, 2012, a calf (front) looks almost skeletal because its mother is too weak to breastfeed it. The town remains nearly deserted as the government in April 2011 designated it and other municipalities within a 20-kilometer ring around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as a no-go zone. The plant's reactors suffered meltdowns after being struck by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami, spewing massive amounts of radioactive materials into the air and sea.
