At 2.30 in Sagamihara, Japan, the Tsukui Yamayuri-en facility was attacked by a man with a knife. At least 15 people was killed and 45 injured.
The Tsukui Yamayuri-en facility provides overnight and daycare services for people with a wide range of disabilities, and has a swimming pool, gym and medical clinic.
I feel like the victims needs a tribute item. Perhaps something with cherry blossoms, Raccoon Dog, Koi Fish, Green Pheasant, Chrysanthemum and Red-crowned Crane which are all symbols for Japan.

I find specifically requesting tribute items to be in really poor taste. If Subeta staff DOES a tribute item for things, it's out of the goodness of their hearts and (most likely) after judging situations.
It's a tragic thing that happened, but I don't think that every tragedy "needs" a tribute item on a pet site. And it seems people only want tribute items for BAD newsworthy things that happen, which is also really weird to me.
Honestly, I come here to escape the real world. I don't want to be reminded of every single tragedy that occurs by having a tribute item every other day....
This tragedy affects a whole majority, not only Japan's disabled. But disabled people through out the world. This guy said he wanted to kill all disabled people in the world. I think it is an important event that deserves an tribute item because it doesn't only affect a small amount of people.
This was an attack against all disabled people, not just the centre.

Honestly, there have been so many shootings, bombings, and other attacks in the news the past few months, I'm not sure I want tributes for them. There's no way you could cover them all, and you can't pick and choose because then people start to argue over which ones they think are most important (which is all kinds of tacky).
And aside from that, I just don't want to see bad news all over Subeta's front page every other week.
