A 12-year-old girl camping in the Hokkaido countryside got a rude awakening when a bear attacked her tent, though she soon beat it off and put it to flight with a good kick.
She apparently mistook the bear pressing against the side of the tent for a prank by her younger sister, and so determined to resolve the issue with a good kick, after trying to push the offending bear away through the tent. The bear took fright and promptly fled into the bushes.
No humans were injured in the incident, though the tent suffered much damage, and we do not hear what became of the budding pedobear.
The bear apparently pursued some deer into the camp site, but evidently got distracted by the scent of delicious cake emanating from the tents, and decided to investigate that instead.
There were some fifty people on the campsite, and dozens of tents, with there being a number of witnesses to the bear beating; the bear itself appeared to be young, at only 70kg. Such a young and naïve bear may not have know to be frightened of humans, and therefore posed quite a threat, it is said. Now it knows better.

Wow I read that title COMPLETELY wrong. Cool story, good job kid.
When I first read the title, I thought it was something else…
“Bear beaten off by 12-year-old girl.” Sounds like some new furry stuff or something.
Time to lay off the hooch.
No l♥♥i for pedobear that day.
Hahaha!!!
Don’t know if it’s just the editor of this article, but I kinda smell a “Red Herring” here. Not that I find this thing unbelievable. There’s a YouTube video showing a cat chasing away a young black bear. Not that hard to chase away a glorified “Scavanger” animal, they go by path of least resistance and attack only when desperate.
Still, awesome! Regret not discovering this site sooner. Only posting because the thing linked it to a recent and more serious bear mauling…
And it is quite relevant to this article indeed…

this is what pedobear would have said
“12 year to old don’t want”
