There has been a series of calls and emails protesting against the prefecture that exterminated the bears. Governor Takahisa Satake of Akita Prefecture said, “There’s a lot of emotional talk.I want the government to take action to gain understanding.”

“According to Akita Prefecture, the most protests occurred immediately after three animals, believed to be a parent and child, stayed in the work shed of a tatami store in Misato Town from the morning of October 4th.After they were exterminated, they received a flood of calls and emails saying, “I feel sorry for them.” Some people cried on the phone, disrupting the work of the staff who responded.

Shinbo) In other words, there are 30 cases in 21 days, which means about 1.4 cases per day. Can this really be called “one after another”?
It is true that there are people in this world with different ways of thinking, opinions, and thoughts. However, once you have decided on a major policy, you should not deviate from it even if you receive one or two complaints a day. You may disagree, but I think so.
