Bear shot dead after rampaging through Japan's Sapporo City

TOKYO: Hunters shot and killed a brown bear in northern Japan on Friday after it rampaged through a city, injuring four people including a soldier and lumbering across busy roads.

One soldier was injured in the bear's rampage in the city, which will host the Olympic marathon and racewalking events in August. Police officers and members of a hunting group search for the brown bear that injured several people, including a soldier. The rampage prompted local school closures and the cancellation of several flights at a small regional airport, NHK reported."A total of four people, including one Self-Defense Forces member, have been attacked and injured by the brown bear. We express our sincere sympathy to them," he said.

Why kill the bear when a tranquilliser dart would disable the bear without killing it? What a disappointment.

Its Japan. They don't give shit.

Are they kidding ? No other option ? Like using of tranquilizer and return the bear to the woods ?

💔 we kept encroaching into their lands. This is so upsetting 😢
