Soldiers are fighting bear attacks in Japan

Amazing stuff! How to use the well trained, fearless defensive forces!

"Japan deployed troops to Akita Prefecture this week as bear attacks reached record highs: 13 killed and around 100 injured since April. The troops, armed with bear spray and shields, are helping to trap and remove the animals after sightings near supermarkets, schools, and bus stops."
