Bears gone wild 2!

from On the Fringe · host Dave and Gavin

In this episode, Gav and Dave tackle the continuing problem of bear attacks in Japan by looking at a recent incident involving a smarter than average bear. As rural communities shrink and bears push into populated areas, especially in Tohoku, the country continues to struggle with all of the conflicts that ensue from overlapping habitats. Dave and Gav discuss why the problem keeps getting worse, propose radical solutions (especially for Japan), and why Japanese politicians continue to struggle with their ursine neighbors. What do you think Japan should do? Are they right on the money, or out to lunch like Yogi and Boo Boo digging thru a pic-a-nic basket? We covered the problem previously in Season 3. Here's a link to it. If you enjoyed the episode, drop us an email at [email protected] and send a couple of stars our way. We sincerely appreciate our growing On the Fringe Community.All the best from both of us, Dave and Gav
