この夏の猛暑のために、山で木の実が不足しているらしく、熊が全国の人里に出没しているというニュースを聞きました。畑の作物や戸外の生ゴミを荒らすだけでなく、建物に入り込み人を襲うという話から、熊たちがよほど切羽詰まっている印象を受けます。人を守るために、銃殺されることもあるようです。なんだか悲しい話です。
Frequented by bears
According to the national news, Japanese towns have been frequented by bears these days. This is because of the poor harvest of nuts in the mountains due to the big heat of this summer. They not only dig vegetables in gardens and garbage outside, but also break into houses and attack people. I can only imagine how desperate these bears are. Hunters sometimes have to kill them in order to save people. It is such a sad story.
熊 = kuma: bear (s)
山 = yama: mountain (s)
