Rain slows Miyazaki burial work / With 28,000 animals left to cull, govt hopes foot-and-mouth won't spread Local Japanese News In English
The start of the rainy season in Miyazaki Prefecture is slowing the culling and burial of cows and pigs infected with foot-and-mouth disease.
The Meteorological Agency officially announced the rainy season had started in the prefecture Saturday. Work was suspended Sunday because of a predawn downpour that hindered the workers by making the air humid and the ground muddy.
Although the central government ordered the prefecture to finish the job by next Sunday, nearly 28,000 cows and pigs remain to be culled. To speed up the work, the central government decided to send additional Self-Defense Force personnel to the area. (Yomiuri)
