Farmer refuses to abandon his radioactive cows

[Catherine]

What a courageous, remarkable man. He is an example of all that is good about us. He takes his responsibility towards his animals to the absolute limit, he risks his own life for them. I also notice he has taken in other abandoned cattle.
After disasters animals get left behind. Even though it is not safe he has gone back to look after them. He is a true hero. I hope somewhere he will be given recognition for what he is doing.

He is right. It would hide the consequences of the disaster if all the contaminated animals could be disposed of. Keeping the herd alive is keeping the truth alive.
