Description
On May 8, 2026, Ogaki City found an adult male Asiatic black bear (95 cm) caught in a deer snare in a forested area of Akasaka-cho, captured it and euthanized it. Because there were houses and schools nearby and the snare risked coming off, the city consulted with police and dispatched a firearm to kill the bear.
