A hunter vanished in Japan near a recent brown bear sighting — just 75 miles from a town that declared its first-ever bear emergency, fueling fears he was mauled in a chilling attack. Bloodstains were discovered nearby and a rifle, believed to belong to the missing man, was found on the side of a mountain road on Tuesday.
Local authorities launched a month-long brown bear emergency that same day for the town of Fukushima, Hokkaido, about 75 miles from Mt. Esan, and deployed cops, firefighters and hunters around the clock in an effort to stamp out attacks. The declaration was issued immediately after newspaper delivery man Kenju Sato was killed by a bear, who repeatedly bitt he 52-year-old and dragged him over 100 yards.

On Tuesday, two other elderly women, one in the northern Aomori prefecture and the other near Nara, were attacked in separate incidents.Experts are blaming the increase in bear attacks partly on the animals’ struggles to find food — acorns and beechnuts — in their natural habitat due to the climate crisis, which forces them to travel to residential areas. As a safety precaution, residents in the region are being urged not to leave food outside their homes to avoid attracting the bears. The government also eased its stringent hunting laws, permitting the emergency shooting of bears in populated zones.
