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 golf course manager in his 40s and the operating company were also sent documents for suspicion of unauthorized capture, and the police judged the shooting did not constitute criminal 'emergency necessity.'
