Japan Deploys ‘Hunting Drones’ to Scare Off Bears After Record Attacks and Tourist Injury | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

Japan is facing a record surge in bear attacks, prompting officials to deploy a barking, firecracker-launching “Hunting Drone” in Gifu Prefecture. Bear sightings in Hida have jumped eightfold, and 220 people have been injured nationwide since April. After a bear cub attacked a tourist in Shirakawa-go, authorities expanded warnings, traps, and safety measures. Experts say climate change and rural depopulation are pushing bears toward human areas.  #JapanNews #BearAttacks #Hida #ShirakawaGo

04:10in the little red book
