Other deformities might very well be Fuku-related – what do you think?

@ fellfromthesun. Isn’t using the term ..”As usual”..a bit strong..dis/misinformational.When in fact enenews is seldom fooled by rumor and always corrects itself when found in error.
Like white caps..mistaken for neutron flashes..there is a small bit of anticipatory…. of things that are eventual.
Then again…. radiation causes mutations.
So we will all have to…WAIT FOR IT.
Report Comment
Well, maybe I’m being harsh. But after the totally bogus and undocumented “yellow rain” scare, unsubstantiated rumor is getting a bit old. I’ll admit, the govt. and TEPCO are so full of it and spreading so many lies and understatements, that the natural reaction is to look for what might be happening that isn’t reported. But I find that the same logic and reason that is applied to tearing apart TEPCO’s bullshit is thrown out the window in a rush to believe any news that implies things are getting much worse.
I recall one post on Fukushima Diary that had a picture of a dead azalea bush in Tokyo and claimed it as evidence of the effects of radiation on the city. Now it would be possible to take hundreds of snapshots in my neighborhood alone of plants that are alive and thriving. It’s also a given that plants die naturally all the time of disease. Now if there were hundreds of plants all kicking at once, there’s a story. But it was one photo, one plant. And no follow-up, not even taking a Geiger counter down to that azalea and taking a reading. But this photo was treated as serious “news”.
This is the problem I’m getting at. And I don’t see why people feel the need to hype this stuff when you can go to Kashiwa or Nagareyama just outside Tokyo and get a really f__king high Geiger reading.

It is impossible to blame the rat deformations on Fukushima. Rats eat all kind of dirt causing them to get whatever you can imagine. That mutations CAN be caused by Fukushima, but nobody knows it.
Deformations / mutations can only be blamed on Fukushima when they are statistically analysed and a trend is found after 3/11. We need independent researchers to do their work.
Those photos may look scary but unfortunately they are worthless in a scientific way.
Report Comment
Have you ever heard of or seen a picture of a deformed young rodent before? I haven’t. If this is a common occurrence then we should be able to validate it with a simple Google search. There are countless billions of rats breeding on this planet and I am sure there would be more proof of this genetic flaw we can dig up from somewhere posted before 311. Personally I have never heard of rats born with the specific genetic defects presented here. Additionally it is very suspect that more than one baby rat had tail deformities. It is possible also if these babies came from same litter that they experienced some sort of physical trauma, perhaps from their mother. She may have bitten off or savaged the babies due to starvation, stress or meanness. That can happen with animals for sure. If I hadn’t heard of 311 I would likely believe the babies had been injured based on how they look in the pictures.
I respectfully counter your point of view by suggesting we may need to consider these mutated examples at least scientifically as some of the first statistics you (we) need to collect.
If your assumption is wrong, then you are suggesting everyone not worry about something which is potentially,(as demonstrated by physical evidence) very damaging to their reproduction and health.
You point is valid in that we shouldn’t rule out considering other causes as it may be something else causing this. Nonetheless, the malformations presented here are consistent with the effects of radiation poisoning and an expected result.
What we are seeing here with these rats and the tomatoes from my own garden, is that *something* is changing lifeforms in their development stage, since 311.
We may not have time to wait for the studies to come in to prevent personal danger.
How do you think earth will look after 5 to 10 years of mutated reproduction of multiple species?
I find it easy to accept that Fukushima’s emissions has upset nature’s balance. I find it difficult when people suggest its negative impacts are anything less then what they really are.
Peace.

4.5 Why do rats sometimes eat their babies?
****Mothers, strange females, and strange males may commit infanticide, all for different reasons. Most infanticide is directed at newborn infants.
A mother may kill deformed or wounded infants, possibly so she can allocate resources to the healthy pups who are more likely to survive. A mother may kill her entire litter if she is stressed, thus recovering some of her energetic investment. Malnourished mothers may cannibalize their litters, possibly to balance their diets. A mother who has an abnormal birth experience, such as a c-section, may also kill her litter. Normal full-term labor and delivery through the birth canal may be important for triggering the hormonal profile that accompanies maternal behavior, and these may be disrupted with a c-section, leading to abnormal maternal behavior and infanticide. Mothers who are very young or very old may also commit infanticide.
Unrelated adult males may kill a litter to bring the mother back into heat faster so he can sire a litter of his own. Unrelated adult females may kill a litter to gain food and to take over the nest. In general, living with the mother reduces infanticide in other rats. Unrelated females tend not to kill the litters of females they’ve lived with, and may even participate in cooperative rearing. Unrelated males tend not to kill the litter if they’ve lived with the female during her pregnancy.

Darth & Elenin,
Good points the both of you! The odd thing I can’t figure out though about this *case* is if you read the article I posted, especially in teh sections about infanticide, if the babies were born deformed it is presented as the norm for rats to almost target those babies for the kill. Following that logic, if these babies were born deformed then the mother would have most likely killed them as reported but given the age of the dead rats pictured, these are way past the *pinky* stage where most of these infant kills occur. SO if the mother for some reason was not there to raise & kill the young, how did these deformed babies make it to the young juvenile stage – alive? If the mom was not there to kill them then how did they make it past the newborn stage without her caring for them? Their presence seems contradictory to the known facts about rats. Many mammals will kill or abandon their deformed, weak or dying young – this is not exclusive to rats.
Report Comment
There was a study years back of lab rats given “urban stress” conditions to live in – not enough room, etc. – and one of the behaviours noted was vandalism; another was sexual behaviour modified to avoid the necessity to breed,
just thought to mention this in the circumstances. However, rats being ground level animals it would be strange if there were no radiation-linked effects. And the behaviour of the mother may have been linked to the fact that she could not recognise the cause of the babies’ illness due to the chemical signals being wrong.

Good observation, Anthony.

Tomb1 Hello T1, I guess I’ll just stick my 2 cents in here. As an animal caretaker of many many rats I’ve found that deformities, such as no or partial tail, happens more often than you might think. It’s a freak of nature. Breeders of rats are not able to breed tail less females because with out that bone they can die in childbirth otherwise they would probably be more common. It does not require radiation to occur. Regards IK

Finally some infor that I have been looking to see, sad as it is.Rats/mice have a 20 day gestation period and 50 days to mature..thence 70 days to make 2 to 3 generations since fuku at about 10 litters birth each.So just 3 huh???
So MIA are Meteorologist, Veterinerians, Marine biologist, botanical experts,nuclear experts,medical experts, investigative journalists,medical experts etc..these groups need to triage at same point …create a Command Centre to navigate this problem.THIS TO ME IS NOT A GAME…every relevant data needs to been accounted for otherwise we are thoroughly effed.PR stunts will not cut the reality in the future,for we will see the effect of fuku..its never going away.Is there no one looking out for the people..???People’s reps and all??The do have kids too I would gues…but hey…money money money….

We need to get a conclusive study of small rodents across Japan to scientifically prove mutation. I don’t doubt that the cause of mutation is related to radiation exposure. As more and more reports surface our chances of being able to determine he extent of radiation exposure will become more clear. One thing is clear and that is the Japanese government is not releasing clear data on the danger radiation poses to people.
