Death is better than capture. I remember travelling around Kyushu about ten years ago and seeing this bear locked in a tiny cage in a farm park. What a terrible existence. Went back ten years later and the poor thing was still there in the same cage. What is anyone supposed to gain from that?

If one reads this article, "capture" applies to the moving of bears to other areas where they are extinct or endangered. Not put into farm parks.

Whenever you see this, remember they don't actually plan on doing anything. It'll be all talk, no action.
