Sikaladi, Indonesia, washed up one February morning by the buzzing talk of more than 100 men and the continual barking of their four-legged friends.
A wild boar was seen a few days before munching on some peanuts at a land on a 30-meter hill overlooking the tiny, 1,500-person economic area on a rambling country street in Indonesia’s West Sumatra province, which is located in the rocky interior of the country’s West Sumatra province.
The Indonesian Boar Hunting Association ( PORBI ) members became aware of the sighting and immediately instructed its members to gather at the base of the hill with the sole intention of pursuing the swine.
The poachers had been emigrating to Sikaladi on that day since 8am. They each brought their riders, which had metal cages on both sides, to move their four-legged companions. The more wealthy hunting arrived in delivery vehicles capable of carrying up to eight dogs at once.
” It’s thrilling to discover our dogs chase down a hog, the noise, the bark, the praise of friends”, Mr Sumantri, a building worker who said he has been hunting animals since he was a child, told CNA. Like some Indonesians, the 51- yr- aged goes by one name.
