At this workshop we would like to address all the issues that arose during the animal rescue activities subsequent to the disaster. We will discuss the legal issues, the usage of animal keeping facilities and the division of roles between central government, self-governing bodies, veterinary associations, animal care organizations and private companies. We will do this so that we may contribute to future measures and operate our animal rescue activities more swiftly and more smoothly within any region during future times of emergency.

With every new disaster we have at least gained some valuable new expertise, skills and insights to guide our activities for the next time. However, the overwhelming scale of the damage wrought by the Great East Japan Earthquake was so enormous that we could barely make any dent in the recovery, even with all our collected and combined knowledge resources. Furthermore, we have been forced to confront a new enemy, the radiation pollution from the nuclear power plant accidents. So, at this workshop we would like to report on the current progress of the animal rescue operations and consider how we can make use of the new experience gained to better serve future efforts.

While it is said that safety and security are different things, the two words have become as inseparable in many people’s minds as the faces of the god Janus. In the livestock field, infectious diseases that spread internationally such as foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza complicate the task of ensuring the stable supply of food, while pathogens such as the infections Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and BSE recently found in yukhoe (a raw beef dish), the prions that cause BSE, etc., and radioactive contamination, which is currently gathering public attention, are problems related to the safety of food. Moreover, food security and safety are often confused with each other and considered as a single issue. In any event, there is a severe problem with regard to what level of risk people are willing to accept given that there is no such thing as a “zero” risk. In order to obtain the kind of reliability we call “security”, rather than trying to enforce a myth of safety, it is necessary for consumers to demand a reasonable response to their concerns and to obtain preventive knowledge. In this address, I would like once again to discuss the problems of food safety and the approaches to overcoming them. Speakers： “An Approach to Ensuring Safety at Livestock Raising Sites” Mr.Junichi Sakai／Counselor, Yamagata Prefecture Federated Agricultural Mutual Aid Association (NOSAI Yamagata) “The Safety of the Meat We Eat Everyday” “Food Risk Assessment – Food Poisoning Causative Organisms, Radioactive Nuclides in Foods” |
