i'm amazed that there are still so much bears in Japan, and that they kill people on a regular basis, and that the japaneze society is ok about that.
If a single death ocurred in my country because of a single wild animal, the whole species would be eradicated by both civilians and the government working in concert. I've even heard about people in my country cutting tons of trees overnight because one motorbike smashed on one tree and "it was the trees' fault" (sic)
