"Persuade Bears with Bench Press" - City Hall Passes Japan's First Muscle Ordinance for Wildlife Control
An end to bear encounters at last? A city hall has adopted the slogan "Muscle over Dialogue" and established the "Muscle Patrol Squad" staffed by bodybuilders. Squad members are required to perform intimidating poses when encountering bears. However, recent unconfirmed reports suggest that the sound of protein shakers being rattled has been heard deep in the forest, and bears have begun bulking up in response.
