Bears are becoming a big problem in Japan both due to an aging human population left to the rural areas as the younger generation has migrated to the cities and of course our nemesis, climate change, which is interrupting the bear food supply chain like the acorns that normally make up their biggest food source. There are no clear answers at this time on how to cope with the increasing bear foraging area but the authorities in several areas are going to employ "The Monster Wolf", a mechanical wolf that has been in use around Takikawa since 2020 with some success. Bottom line like most everywhere else is some animal populations are growing faster than humans but without enough food to go around. No idea what the bears are supposed to eat if they are successful at keeping them out of the urban areas.
