Chako: Hey Log, I just heard that the goat “Ponyo” who lived on the cliff has died! It’s really sad, isn’t it?
Log: Yeah, Ponyo was loved by so many people. Even though she was suffering from a small intestine obstruction and was receiving treatment, it’s still heartbreaking that she passed away so suddenly.

Admin’s Note

I believe Ponyo’s death shocked many people. It particularly reminded us of the significant impact animals have on our lives. While I feel that initiatives for animal welfare are important, every time such a tragic event occurs, it makes me think that we should take action. I hope that in the future, measures will be implemented to ensure that animals can live in better environments.
