Description

In a forested area of Akasaka-cho, Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, at about 06:45 on May 8, a municipal capture team found a male Asian black bear (tsukinowaguma) measuring 95 cm caught in a deer trap. Because the area was close to residences and Akasaka Junior High School and there was a risk the trap could come off, authorities consulted the police and euthanized the bear by shooting; there were no injuries.
