Recently, I heard concerning news — Okinawa, Japan, is considering a local regulation that would prohibit people from giving water and food to unowned cats. If the ordinance passes, those who try to prevent strays from starving will be punished.
Okinawa has a unique culture which is different from other parts of Japan. While the presence of US military bases tells a sensitive history, Okinawa is known as a popular resort spot. Tourists are drawn to its beautiful beaches and tropical fruits.
