Bear Mauls 9 in Grisly Rampage

taichi-kiriyama-bear-raep.jpg

A bear which viciously mauled 9 people in an unprovoked attack on mountainside resort has itself been gunned down.

The beast invaded a mountainside lodge in the backwater prefecture of Tochigi packed with dozens of tourists; encountering several tourists near the lodge, it began attacking and chasing them, throwing one to the ground and maiming a man who came to his aid horribly with bites to his face.

The only defence visitors and staff could muster was throwing rocks and making loud noises at the bear, which only served to utterly enrage it.

Soon the alarm was raised and patrons fled into the lodge and attempted to lock it out, but the bear chased after them and slipped in before they could shut it out; it then began attacking them in the building, raking them with claw and fang, and causing a hysterical stampede out of the building.

Eventually the facility was evacuated completely, patrons by bus and wounded by helicopter; 9 people received injuries in connection with the incident, the worst having their faces badly bitten or their bodies terribly clawed.

Hunters shot the bear, still loitering about the lodge, some three hours after its rampage began; it was a male Asian Black Bear of but 90kg.

Bear encounters are said to be growing in Japan’s increasingly depopulated rural areas, with a lack of stewardship or access to firearms doing little to reassure visitors to the wilder areas. People encountering rampaging bears are advised to try scaring them off with a small bell.

    And did they eat it? It would be a waste since bear meat are delicious in hot pot or with wasabi!

    Bears are omnivores. Sometimes their meat tastes nasty - bear-meat flavor depends on what that bear was eating.

    And, three hours to find someone with a gun? That's pitiful. Swords and Firearms Control Law to-the-rescue!

    @Anonymous 15:42: bears are fast and strong. You'd better make your first blow a killing blow.

    Guy in Washington State (USA) had a house in the woods. A bear showed up on his front walk. He shot it with his hunting rifle. The dead-bear-walking charged him, busted through his floor-to-ceiling kitchen window, finally dropped on his kitchen floor.

    Without guns and hunters at the ready, you'd think people would be carrying like I don't know... HUNTING SPEARS?!

    Resorts out in the wild demand stuff like that methinks. Bare minimum? Knives can be thrown. Rocks? small bell? yeesh... Hell, if it's a building with a Fire Axe available, I'll take a few whacks at it. Any phuckin' animal angry enough to come after me better be ready for a bloody beating. Go knives... ^_^

    why do stories like this always involve people throwing rocks? couldnt anyone there fashion a spear out of a stick?

    just watch "the edge" or "300" people can kill big animals with small pointy sticks by letting them fall onto the weapons when they try to jump you.....

    and isnt this japan where ninjas used to make weapons out of farm tools? what happened to that ingenuity?

    Yeah sure let's make a spear in 2-3 minutes although i never made one in my life while running. Are you people idiots. Even in the old days they had to devote time to make there spears. Not to mention that only one wouldn't kill it.
    Do you think this is the first Stark Trek where Kerk could make weapons out of the hair of his dick?

    The best solution would have been to make a Molotov and throw it at her.

    the bear wasnt chasing everyone at once, some people could have time to make spears. a molotov would have only worked when the bear was still outside. but seriously this is a lodge, bears are known to roam the area, did no one think to have bear mace?

    and this is japan, did no one have a death note........wait do death notes work on bears?

    This is why extremely strict gun control is bad.
    It leaves you all kinds of fucked if something like this happens.
    I'm surprised they didn't even have bear spray which is pepper spray on steriods.
    Bells won't do crap except aggravate it and seems well a very pathetic.

    The only defense against a bear attack is a gun. This is the main reason why the gun laws are STUPID: they just keep people from defending themselves from the attacks of other people and wild animals.

    Poor pedobear.
    I'll tell You how it was. (Warning! Sarcasm included!)

    First he gets info, that a trip of lolis is coming to the mountaineside resort.
    Then he finds out it was just a trick to catch him.
    The next thing he sees is a bunch of people lynching him, so he defends himself.
    Finally he tries to hide in the hotel, which is infact a large pedobear trap.
    After various attempts of escape he is shot to death.

    Really a diabolical plan to get rid of pedobear.
    :D

    pepper spray is the best repellent.
    blast them in the face and they just stop and run away.
    bear versions have a much larger canister and wider spray cone.

    No weapons? Didn't anybody have the sense to use that white thing with the yellow label on it? You know, it's got a grey round thing on the floor.

    Hmm, let's see, 90Kg bear vs. 1500Kg van.

    Job done.

    I wish someone use a pepper spray on a bear, I've seen lots of people getting pepper sprayed, getting bored of it.

    If you think I'm cruel to animals, tell that to the 9 victims. :p

    They have a special pepper spray for use on bears and it's pretty effective. Bear's sense of smell is many times greater then even a dog's so they really don't cope with being peppered.

    Or do both- With enough accessory rails, you can mount all kinds of annoying bells on your gun.

    Obviously, that makes it a great idea.

    Indeed. Imagine the havoc that could be wrought with both bells AND whistles.

    Next advancement in military technology?
    You can use the bells as an annoying distraction and then get a head shot on the opponent.

    That is a special bell marketed for the purpose of scaring bears, not just any ordinary bell.

    All it does is alert the bear to your presence, so that you don't scare a bear by "accidentally sneaking up on it". A scared bear is much more likely to attack then a non-scared bear (fight or flee reaction).

    Black bear or not, they might as well be ringing the DINNER bell for all the good the damn thing will do, Artefact. ><

    The keyword in that statement is 'marketed'.... not proven to be effective.

    .... or were you just being sarcastic? If so, you win an internet good sir. ^^ Well played.

    So the bear became further enraged AFTER it heard the loud noises? And they're selling bells which make loud noises...
