A: Hey there! Got any juicy news? 🤓
B: Not much, just the bear situation in Tokyo. 🐻
A: What's up with that? I didn't know bears roam around here! 😱
B: Yeah, apparently they do! And it's been a problem this year with more sightings than usual. 🤯
A: Whoa, that sounds scary! Have there been any attacks? 🙀
B: Well, one guy got hurt when he was fishing in Okutama Town back in August. 😨
A: No way! That's terrible... I didn't know Tokyo needed more hunters. 🤔
B: Yeah, it turns out they do! There are fewer hunters because many of them are old. And that's causing damage from bears and other wild animals. 🙁
A: So the government is trying to encourage more people to become hunters? 🤝
B: That's right! They raised the number of tests for a hunting license from five to six times a year. And they plan to hold an event with a local hunting association this month. 😊
A: Oh, that sounds cool! I wonder if more people will start hunting now? 🌟
B: Hopefully! They really want more license holders to go out and hunt. They even want to help improve people's skills. 💪
A: Good luck with that! Let's hope it helps keep bears (and us) safe! 😃
