Description
On the 12th in Kamitakara, Takayama, a man in his 70s was seriously injured in an attack by an Asiatic black bear. The city captured an adult and a cub near the scene on the 14th, but it is unclear if they were the attackers; another cub escaped, and the city decided to lend bear-deterrent bells to all elementary and junior high students as a safety measure.
