About 40% of the encounters in 2020 occurred in residential and urban areas, or on agricultural land, the Yomiuri Shimbun said. The number of bear encounters has risen in recent years, from an estimated 4,800 in 2009 to more than 20,000 in 2020, when two people were killed and 158 injured, the environment ministry said.Įxperts say a shortage of acorns in their natural habitat means the animals are more likely to come into contact with humans as they forage for food.

Japan’s biggest whaling company, Kyodo Senpaku, recently started selling whale meat from vending machines in an effort to boost consumption. Just thought Id offer my story in case anyones been looking into using vitex for fertility. That had fallen to just over 4m by 2020, but Japan still has the largest number of vending machines per capita in the world. Japan’s ubiquitous vending machines sell myriad food items, from staples such as hot and cold drinks to edible insects and hamburgers.Īccording to the Japan Vending System Manufacturers Association, the number of machines peaked at 5.6m in 2000 – or one for every 23 people. “Bear meat tastes clean, and it doesn’t get tough,” a Soba Goro spokesperson told the Mainichi. It has a slightly gamey flavour that some have likened to venison, and is often served in stew. The vending machine appeared in November after Soba Goro, a local restaurant, spied an opportunity to use ursine cuisine as a tourist attraction.īear meat consumption is highest in northern Japan, where it is sold in cans and even as instant curry. Leave them in the wild to live a wild life.” Bears are wild animals, not a convenience food. If we protect them, then their habitat and the animals and plants within it also benefit. “Bears are of great significance to the wider ecosystem in which they live. “This feels like another low blow for wildlife,” Nick Stewart, wildlife campaign director at World Animal Protection, said in a statement to the Guardian. The meat came from bears captured in the mountains by members of a local hunting club who were permitted to kill a certain number during the annual hunting season, the paper added.īut animals rights campaigners condemned the vending machine enterprise and called for an end to the hunting of bears for their meat. I think I will continue taking Vitex for most of the first trimester if I ever get a BFP and wean off at the 10-12 week mark.The machine, which touts its contents as a regional speciality, was stocked with locally killed wild bear and sold a mixture of lean and fatty meat, the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper said. Did you stop taking Vitex right away when you got your BFP? I am nervous about those last two.

Were you ever pregnant while taking vitex and unfortunately miscarried? 4. How long were you taking vitex for before your BFP? 3.

Did you have irregular cycles before vitex and did it help you to regulate and/or Ovulate? 2. It has helped to regulate my cycle already but DH and I are TTC so I just need some positive vibes that I think I will get from your sucecss stories! 1. Now after about a 37-day cycle I started a full-on AF with a 'proper flow' (haha, that sounds weird) yesterday without much in the. I did have a light period about a week and a half of starting to take it. I am on month 2 of taking a vitex tincture 3 times daily. For those considering Vitex, my ob-gyn told me to take it after not having a period post BC pills for almost 70 days. Hi Everyone, There are several Vitex threads out there but I would love to start a new one and hear some more success stories from anyone who had been using vitex while TTC.
