Join AnimalZone as we explore Usa's inspiring journey to protect and advocate for the voiceless victims of natural disasters, showcasing how one person's compassion can make a world of difference for animals in need.

In the aftermath of natural disasters, countless lives are disrupted, including those of animals who often go unnoticed amidst the chaos. In this special episode of AnimalZone, we shine a spotlight on Usa and her dedicated team, U-nyan, who have made it their mission to rescue and care for animals affected by earthquakes.

Usa, founder of the Disaster Pet Search and Rescue Team U-nyan, recounts the genesis of her mission during the devastating Kumamoto earthquake. Witnessing the plight of animals left behind or trapped in the rubble, Usa was moved to take action. With a team of passionate volunteers, U-nyan searches tirelessly for lost dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, turtles, and all creatures in need.

Through heartfelt interviews and poignant rescue stories, viewers witness firsthand the challenges and triumphs of Usa's team. They recount miraculous rescues like that of Jun-chan, a dog miraculously found alive after being buried for 18 days. Each rescue is a testament to the resilience of both animals and humans in times of crisis.

Beyond rescue efforts, Usa also spreads awareness through her "Exhibition of Small Lives Lost in Disasters," art, theater productions, and music—all aimed at honoring and protecting the precious lives often overlooked in everyday society.
