#japan is having a full-blown moral panic about bears right now
there have been some genuinely nasty bear attacks in the past year, but the media coverage of it is insane
companies are marketing bear-proof shelters made out of shipping containers
when 5-10 people still die daily on the road nationwide
the number of people killed by bears in japan this year was achieved about one week into january for road deaths
but we are still super fucking chill about everyone having a car
