Abstract

<p>The problem of damage to agricultural and forestry resources is increasing in severity. The Japanese government has ordered local governments to develop control plans, and the local governments have created “population culling plans.” Local governments are carrying out the plan with local hunting groups by culling wildlife and maintaining reasonable numbers. On the other hand, with the idea of using this wild game as food, they are publicly funding game processing facilities and testing the distribution of game meat. This paper is an attempt to make sense of these systems through the theories of “law and economics.”Among the policy-based implications, some of the best solutions of the issues include internalizing the costs of harmful wildlife control in agricultural yields, capturing animals alive with enclosed traps, and breeding the captured animals temporarily to remove the competition for food resources and improve the quality of the meat for stronger results</p>
