On Oct. 6, 2007, a dog lovers organization in Osaka drove two truckloads of stray dogs to Imazu, intending to keep them at a facility there. But they came across 250 residents sitting on the road leading to the facility to protest the move. The trucks arrived at past 1 am, and after 8 hours, they turned back. Among the road sitters was the mayor of Takashima.
