Part 2

We have come to the island many times over the years to help sick and injured rabbits. We explained to people what to do and not to do many times. Hoping that with education, people will change but nothing changed. People still chase rabbits and over feed them and rabbits end up being injured, sick and ultimately die. Even we could save one rabbit, three still died. We realized that our efforts had no impact. As Michael said, it's like trying to put out a fire in a high-rise building with a short household hose.
 
While many companies make profits off the rabbits, rabbits are paying with their lives. Not one yen goes to the rabbits or their care. Injured or sick rabbits as a result of human cruelty are not rescued or treated. They simply end up dying within days if not overnight. The only thing that is protected are businesses who exploites rabbits. Okunoshima became an island of animal abuse. This should never be tolerated.
 
I hear the rabbits voices screaming every day "Protect Me, Help Me!”
