[release] [B]BBC News:[/B] An Asian black bear has been shot dead after attacking a group of tourists at a bus station in central Japan.
Four people were seriously injured in the attack in Takayama, Gifu prefecture, according to the Japanese news agency Kyodo.
After the attack, the 1.3m (four foot) bear fled through the bus terminal, and into a souvenir shop.
Employees then trapped it inside the shop, and the bear was later shot dead by officials. [/release]

I'm surprised PETA didn't make a fuss really.

Saw it coming.
I feel like there's some kind of joke here to be made, but for the life of me I can't figure out what.
Tekken came to my mind.

You can bet that store will be full of bear figurines within the week. They'll even give it a name, and rebrand the shop. It'll just sell bear figurines and furry bear costumes and the employees will be made to wear bear face paint and welcome customers with "Grr?" and a cheeky smile.
I didn't know there were bears in Japan.

If I'm not mistaken tranq darts cost more than most ammunition
If I were ever to be ripped apart by a bear it would be that one.
