Stationmaster Tama(たま駅長)
The other day, I went to Kishi station of Wakayama Dentetu.
In this station, one cat is working as a stationmaster.
Her name is "Tama".
Her main task is attracting guests.
Her payment is yearly cat food.
At the beginning of this month(2010.8.4),
rebuilding of this station was completed.
The whole image has changed so smart.
But I feel the previous station is more agreeable than the new one.The previous station was typical Japanese country station,
so it's a pitty that the old syle station was disappeared.
By the way,
it is said that Tama's economic ripple effect is no fewer than
1.1 billion yen for 1 year.
There were so many visitors in the station and
they waited for taking her pictures.
She was in the room separated from guests by glass walls.
She looked so exhausted as she is 11 years old.
She is so elder.
I think it's no problem with visiting this station,
but how many people visiting here can imagine more than
300,000 cats and dogs are killed
in Japanese public health centers for 1 year.
If you cannot imagine realistically,
I recommend you to watch the feature segment.
I felt it's exactly like a holocaust in concentration camp.
I want you to think those who throw away pet animals
are overwhelmingly "CRIMINAL".
