Annaka City announced that the number of harmful birds and animals captured last year was 1,681, a new record. This is 79 more than the previous year's 1,602, and marks an increase for the second consecutive year. Nationwide, there has been an increase in the number of birds and animals appearing in urban areas and farmland due to a decrease in hunters, but Annaka City has established a system centered on capture teams and says that appropriate management is being carried out. By species, wild boars were the most captured with 649, followed by Japanese deer with 290.
