October Was Deadliest Bear Attack Month In Japan

This is what happens to a disarmed population. From the New York Post: "Japan suffered deadliest month of bear attacks in history, with 7 deaths and 88 maulings in October." That was just October. The article goes on to report that for a six month period beginning in April, there were a total of 12 people killed and 196 mauled by bears. Moreover, "[t]he incidents have occurred in 21 of the country’s 47 prefectures and have spread from mostly rural areas to now plaguing urban centers."
