Starting from the 13th, Japanese authorities will be employing non-lethal rifles as part of their bear control measures to ensure public safety. With increasing incidences of bear sightings, this action is taken to balance the coexistence of humans and wildlife. Law enforcement will master these tools to contain the situation, ensuring minimal harm to the bears and maintaining the ecological balance.

In Japan, human-wildlife conflict, particularly with bears, can be a pressing issue due to the mix of urban and natural environments. Japanese society highly values respect for nature and living harmoniously with wildlife. However, public safety is equally crucial which occasionally necessitates such measures. The introduction of non-lethal rifles demonstrates a commitment to combining these values.

In the US and EU, similar methods are adopted to handle wildlife intrusions into human settlements. Various non-lethal techniques including tranquilizing and relocating are used, although the specific strategies may vary based on the species and local regulations.
