Having debated since March on how to stop the animals from attacking crops and entering residential areas, a group of ruling party politicians has agreed to call on the military for help, the Asahi Shimbun daily reported Sunday.
Under the ruling party’s plan, subject to approval from party executives, local leaders will be able to request help from the country’s Self Defense Forces to build fences and set traps.
