Bear in Japan Attacks, Injures 9 People

I had no idea there were wild black bears in Japan.

Yikes! Me either. The article says the attacks lasted an hour before a hunter killed the bear. :eek: I presume police officers in Japan aren’t routinely armed, but you’d think they could grab a weapon at the station before rushing there.

Call me old fashioned but I think it was pretty tacky of the bear to then wander into the store and look at souvenirs.

Though this is a tragic story, I feel I’d be remiss if I didn’t share my favorite clip from the animated “Clerks” show:

WHO’S DRIVING CAR? BEAR DRIVING CAR!

They don’ t have the right to bear arms.

Leading to yet another case of arms-unbearing policemen bearing down on a bare bear bearing bared arms against hikers’ bare arms as they scattered across all bearings, barely able to bear the bear?
