Bear and cubs sighting

One of our friends here is a rice farmer, and he's mentioned a few times of his concerns about bears in the local area. Some of the City-Cost community may have also seen that the government is looking to deploy the SDF to tackle the ever-growing bear issue, which I think is an interesting idea.


Back to that note about our local farmer friend, he captured three bears (what looks to be a mother and two cubs) on camera by his rice fields yesterday morning around 3am.

It does make me think about how bears are going to impact farming communities here. A lot of the media reports I see about bear attacks involve people out working in their fields, and I'd personally be extremely paranoid if that was my line of work.
