Excited
BEAR ATTACK!!!
| |
We brought you the news of dangerous Panda attacks in China, but this weekend we learned that Japan faces their own threat from four legged barbarian of their own.
Nine tourists at a rest stop in Nyukawa, a small mountain town, were seriously injured by a hungry black bear yesterday. The animal terrorized visitors on a bus until a hunter managed to shoot it dead in a souvenir shop.
No one suffered life-threatening injuries in the attack, which lasted about an hour, reports said.
A photograph from the scene showed the bear mauling a prone person in a parking lot while a man attempted to scare it off.
Thanks to the advancement of 21st century technology, footage of the BEAR ATTACK (caps required) were soon found online (posted above). And yes, the bear was only 4 feet tall. Cue jokes about how short Asian people are….here.
Though bear attacks are rare, we hope that future tourists will understand the importance of being prepared for crazy animal onslaughts when traveling to the Land of the Rising Sun. With ninjas all over the place, it’s scary to think how quickly and dangerously these deadly animals approach to their enemies.

Not to dismiss the injuries that were sustained by any of the tourists (they were rather serious), but none of them had life threatening injuries. Moye isn't joking about how people got hurt, but rather at the situation and how preposterous it was.
In my opinion, what's sadder than the people who were injured -- is the fact that a hungry bear was shot to death because it was doing what it knows to instinctively do -- hunt if he's hungry.

I don't know if joking is exactly appropriate when people were seriously hurt :
