Completion of a bear meat processing facility to prevent damage to birds and beasts Aomori Nishimeya Village November 6, 4:05

A facility to process captured bears to prevent damage to crops was completed in Nishimeya Village in western Aomori Prefecture, and a commemorative ceremony was held on the 5th.

The newly completed "Gibier Kobo Shirakami" in Nishimeya Village was ribbon-cutting with the participation of about 10 people from the village.

The village is promoting the capture of bears to prevent damage to crops, but the subsequent processing is an issue, and the facility will process them into meat and leather products.

This is the first bear meat processing facility in Aomori Prefecture that has been captured as a countermeasure against wildlife damage.

From this winter at the earliest, the village will provide pots and curries using bear meat at roadside stations in the village, and I would like to convey the traditional culture of "matagi" for hunting. I will.

Kazunori Seki, the mayor of Nishimeya Village, said, "I want to use this not only as a countermeasure against wildlife damage but also to revitalize local industries.

I will pass on the Matagi culture to posterity while letting many people know the goodness of bear meat. I want to. "
