Description
In September 2025 at a golf course in Minami Ward, Sapporo, a hunter in his 70s fired and killed one bear without permission from Hokkaido. The police sent documents for prosecution against the hunter, the golf course's manager in his 40s, and the operating company on suspicion of unauthorized capture under the Wildlife Protection and Management Act, determining the shooting did not qualify as a legal 'necessity' (emergency escape).
