i'm amazed that there are still so much bears in Japan, and that they kill people on a regular basis, and that the japaneze society is ok about that.
If a single death ocurred in my country because of a single wild animal, the whole species would be eradicated by both civilians and the government working in concert. I've even heard about people in my country cutting tons of trees overnight because one motorbike smashed on one tree and "it was the trees' fault" (sic)
You just made my fucking night
In my country wolves have returned and within a few years people want to eradicate them because they kill sheep. Because these farmers are too stingy or too stupid to buy a kangal shepherd dog that protects the herd. Basically in my country people see nature as something that is purely there for the enjoyment of humans. Just glorified city parks. The moment they face the harsh realities of nature they want to exterminate it.
Sounds like Germany
Those bears are living in mountainous areas with forest cover. One of the causes of the bear population boom was the declining number of hunters in those areas. The Japanese government had allocated 3.4 billion yen (around 21 million US dollars) for "bear countermeasures" in 2025. They also had already deployed soldiers to put traps and allowed the police to shoot and kill bears when necessary.
wait until they hear about mosquitoes
I wish I live where you do. Here in the USA, we have an escalating boar problem and it is just ignored. But then again, it's a capitalist country.
By that logic it’s a good idea to live in an empty clean room than on planet earth.
