In response to a series of damages caused by bear attacks, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato announced at a press conference in the afternoon that he would hold a liaison meeting with related ministries and agencies next week to consider countermeasures.

Among them, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato said, "Since October, humans have been attacked by bears in Niigata and Akita prefectures and died, resulting in personal injury, bear infestation in urban areas, and damage to crops. It is thought that the factors are poor crops such as acorns as food, and that many people are infested in the village due to being guided by garbage. "



On that basis, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato expressed his intention to hold a liaison meeting by related ministries and agencies on the 26th next week to consider measures, etc. "We will further work closely with each other to prevent accidents caused by bears. I want to. "
