Feline-friendly Osaka Mayor Ichiro Matsui hopes to make the 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo the first one to allow pets, but a number of hurdles stand in the way.

(日本)大阪市的愛貓市長松井一郎希望把2025年大阪關西世界博覽會打造成第一個允許寵物入場的世博會,然此構想面臨重重阻礙。

The Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, the expo’s organizer, is making adjustments to allow people to enjoy the expo, whose theme is “inochi” (life), with their pets.

2025年日本世界博覽會協會」的主辦單位正在進行調整,好讓民眾能與其寵物一起享受這場以いのち(生命)為主題的世博會。

However, challenges are piling up, such as how to take care of people with fur allergies, how to handle the pets’ waste, and how to secure the extra funding needed.

然而,挑戰層出不窮,像是如何照顧對動物的毛過敏的人、如何處理寵物的排泄物,以及如何確保取得所需的額外資金。

Allowing pets at the venue would require an estimated 900 million yen in additional expenses to cover costs for personnel, places for the animals and cleanup work.

允許寵物入場估計需要9億日圓的額外費用,以支付人員、動物安置場所以及清理工作的費用。
