Dogs and wild boars fight until death in the traditional Indonesian hunting game!
That has long been criticized by animal rights activists. It was originally intended as a check to test the dog’s hunting ability on wild boar. But the spectator sport has also developed to run the whole game as profit-oriented gambling.
In the middle of a bamboo arena under the cheering mob, the dog is rushed to the wild boar where a life and death battle begins.
The controversial Indonesian custom, also known as “Adu Bagong”, is usually held in remote villages in the West Java province of Indonesia, where a dog and a wild boar compete in a 15x30m arena.

Participants who had groomed and fed their dogs outside the arena before the game said that participating in the sports was a way to preserve a cultural practice that had been going on for decades.
The game started around the 1960s and started when local farmers wanted to protect their farms from wild boar.
The competition takes place every weekend in different villages and is judged by the agility of the dog and the duration of the dog’s biting.
Both animals are forced to fight until one of them is injured. If the boar survives the attack of a first dog, its wounds will be treated and then it will have to face another dog.
Injured boars are slaughtered.
The injured dogs are also treated for their wounds. “Hunting is an inseparable community culture,” said Nur Hadi, leader of a hunting dog enthusiast group, Hiparu. And despite criticism from animal rights activists, it should not be abolished.
Activists have been calling for years to stop this popular crime.

“The government and NGOs should set out to stop this cruelty to animals and educate people that dogfighting is illegal,” said Indonesian animal rights activist Marison Guciano. “The game is a criminal act against the animals.”
The breeder Agus Badud argued that the activity had increased the “economic value” of their dogs.
“I am following this competition to increase the sales price and economic value of my dogs, and it will be of no use to me as a breeder if I do not take part in such a competition,” said the dog owner to Reuters.
He keeps 40 dogs in his house.

To enter the fight, dog owners pay at least 200,000 to two million Indonesian rupiahs ($ 14-150), and the dogs are divided into three categories depending on their breed, weight, and track record. The winners will receive a cup and cash prize of around $ 2000.
Numerous international animal protection organizations have been mobilizing against this “tradition” for some years now and have called for an end to the fighting.
Wendy Higgins, spokeswoman for the Humane Society International, argues to journalists:
“The vicious and exploitative battle of dogs and wild boar in Indonesia is a worrying spectacle that must be condemned. Seeing animals brutally fighting each other should never be seen as entertainment or excused as culture”.
Finally, she adds: “It is not only extreme cruelty to animals, but it humiliates us as humans to propagate such barbarism as fun. Any tradition that makes a sentient being the victim of violence should be thrown into the garbage heap of history”.
The campaign of animal welfare NGOs now shows its first success: In 2017, the NGO Scorpion Wildlife announced on Facebook that the first battle arena in Pacet, West Java, had been closed by the police.
And I mean…In front of the roaring spectators, the pig and the trained fighting dog tear each other to pieces. If the dog and the trainer win, there is a juicy reward, and the breeding value of the dog increases.
In any case, the fate of the wild boar ends horribly: either it holds up well, then it is repeatedly forced into the arena or the butcher comes by.
Although many people in these countries have no choice but to make a living in this way, it is cultivated in this cosmos to benefit from the suffering of animals.

The same applies to western civilization: dog fights are illegal, but Spanish bullfighting is legal. It is actually unfair and even shameful that visitors are still allowed to visit bullfighting arenas.
The bull also dies a cruel death with the dagger by human hand at the end of the fight. And Spain also justifies bullfighting – and the barbaric end of animals – with the term cultural heritage.
The arena’s visitors, who enjoy the animal’s suffering, reward each painful blow with the lance that pierces the bull into the flesh with Olé calls.
Anyone who enjoys such initiated brutality can only be described as a sadist – all over the world.

Forgotten mercy and compassion in the blink of an eye just for absurd personal fulfillment!
No loving God would like the suffering and death of an innocent.
But Sister Jhon Paul Bauer of the Benedictine diocese of Eire, Pennsylvania, with her sacrosanct smile seems to make a mustache of the 5th commandment “DO NOT KILL” and is immortalized with her hunting trophy!

Salamanders cut their nerves – This is how animals are tortured in Dresden’s animal laboratories.
Axolotl are Mexican salamanders that have the ability to regrow injured organs or even limbs very quickly.
At the University Hospital Dresden,Germany, nerves are cut to watch them grow again. In mice, colon cancer or a heart attack is artificially triggered, sheep are drilled holes in the skull.
In a new leaflet, the nationwide association Doctors Against Animal Experiments criticized animal experiments in Dresden’s laboratories as ethically unjustifiable and scientifically nonsensical.
“In animal experiments, animals are degraded to measuring instruments that are thrown away after use, but animals are sentient, suffering creatures, ”says Dr. med. vet. Corina Gericke, vice president of “doctors against animal experiments”.
However, animal experiments should also be rejected from a scientific point of view, because the animal experimental system is based on the wrong approach of trying to imitate human diseases in so-called animal models.
In the heart center of Dresden, a coronary artery is tied in healthy mice to simulate a heart attack. The artificially made animals have nothing to do with human patients and their complex situation.
Important aspects of disease development such as nutrition, lifestyle, harmful environmental influences as well as psychological and social factors are completely ignored in this type of research.
At the clinic for visceral, thoracic and vascular surgery, locally limited colon tumors are produced in mice by injecting special viruses.
IKEM Experimental Laboratory Center in Prague February 18 2010
Depending on the type of tumor, the animals usually die from an intestinal obstruction as a result of the tumor after 80-200 days.
Colon cancer is said to be “standardized” in mice.
“However, the human being is not standardized, but influenced by countless factors,” complains Gericke.“Such a ‘model’ is far from any reality and the results of it are completely irrelevant for human medicine. It would make a lot more sense to research colon cancer on intestinal organoids, or mini-organs, generated from human cells. ”
In the opinion of the medical association, the trials with Axolotl of the Clinic for Neurosurgery are particularly perfidious research.
The sciatic nerve is cut through to the amphibians.
After 7 and 14 days, the hind leg is cut open again to photograph the nerve. Over the next 4 months, a total of 78 animals will be gradually killed.
“Even if the experimenters find out how the axolotl does this to regenerate amputated limbs and nerves, we humans will never get this ability,” explains the veterinarian.
In another example from the University of Dresden, sheep are drilled 3 holes in each skull and filled with different materials.
According to “Doctors Against Animal Experiments”, it makes no sense to study bone healing in sheep because that have a completely different bone metabolism than humans.
In a 26-part series, the association informs Doctors Against Animal Experiments about animal experiments in a specific city. Dresden, No. 26, is the newest sheet in this series.
The association wants to sensitize the local population to support its demand for innovative animal-free research with mini-organs and multi-organ chips grown from human cells.
My comment: “Every substance poisons only certain animal species (or only in certain doses). So you can “prove” what you want with animal experiments, and vice versa.
If you choose the right animal species, a medication can be described as harmless or toxic, as effective or as useless as you wish.
So animal testing is an unscientific method, a methodical error; and science based on wrong methodology can only be bad science. It is our job to correct this mistake. “ (Prof. Dr. med. Pietro Croce)
With unspeakable suffering for the animals and decades of support with hundreds of millions of taxes, animal experiments are even lucrative fun for the researchers.
Thousands of doctoral theses that can be googled today provide sad proof of how unscrupulous today’s medical professionals are and how easily they can go over the animal corpses to make a career.
The system of applications to ethics committees to prevent animal suffering is probably a joke.
In the application process, the entire test procedure is flattened into a phrase with a previously determined result.
This means that even if an experiment is associated with severe suffering, the animal has no chance of escaping scientific torture if the abolition of the experiment contradicts the goal of the experiment.
The results of animal experiments do not guarantee transferability to humans.
Even worse! there is no direct link between animal testing and rescuing a person.
However, since everyone can create and interpret animal experiments in a way that suits their own interests, the freedom to kill millions of animals has been legalized.
So there is undoubtedly a lot of suffering.
Despite this suffering, science does not provide meaningful data.
In the 1970s, the companies Sandoz,Ciba-Geigy and Hoffmann-LaRoche alone poisoned 2 million animals every year in gruesome, lengthy procedures. Among them tens of thousands of dogs, cats and monkeys.
A monetary transaction in which the pharmaceutical and chemical industries generate double profits that we have reported on many times.
Letting 42 million animals suffer worldwide from questionable experiments in one year alone (no butcher has such rights !!) – is a crime that nor can it be justified by the evolutionarily acquired intellectual and technical superiority of human being.

The dream of a few is to accumulate so much power that they can rule and exploit the rest of humanity.
For this purpose, an epidemic is very welcome.
Because according to the will of leading billionaires and heads of government, it can be extended for years.
Merkel said: “The pandemic will not go away until we really have a vaccine. Even if the numbers get a day better, it won’t go away (the pandemic) until we really have a vaccine that we can use to immunize the population. “
And so the continuation of the “epidemic dictatorship” becomes a necessity!
It goes without saying that vaccination itself is of no use because the virus will soon mutate. That’s why Gates and Merkel prefer to rely on the second wave. It shouldn’t slow down the resounding success of the pharmaceutical industry.
The entire “banana republic” is now desperately waiting for the second, third and fourth wave of COVID-19 disease.
Nice that Merkel has already understood it. Then we still need 80 million vaccinations.

While the animal rights activists in Chicago can celebrate a success for the 🐎horses, the carriages drivers in Vienna are currently even being supported with tax money 💔.
The big city in the USA is no longer extending the concession of the carriage companies at the end of the year. 🎉 This will allow a gradual exit until 2021 and the horses no longer have to pull carriages on the stressful 🚌roads with ❄wind, weather and 🌡heat.
Vienna, on the other hand, sets a completely wrong goal and also promotes continued existence in the city center instead of putting the tax money into improvements for the animals.
Right now there would be a chance to finally banish this outdated tradition, which is associated with a lot of animal suffering, from the city center or to let it run completely, as many cities have already shown us. We want a better life for the carriages horses in Vienna❗ Support us now 📝 http://www.vier-pfoten.at/fiaker
We therefore ask together with FOUR PAWS:
-Enough shade places for hot days
-Adequate supply of water & roughage
-A limit on working hours & annual health checks
-At least on the non-working days, free movement in the paddock with fellow species
-Fiaker rides ONLY in green areas
And I mean…Horses, which are actually escape and herd animals, have to make their rounds in the middle of big cities under noise and exhaust gases on hard asphalt or cobblestones.
In Vienna specifically and according to the Fiaker Law, working hours (with arrival and departure) may be 14 hours per working day.
The drivers do not feed the animals in the city, but only in the barn at night. Horses need continuous access to roughage, everything else is cruelty to animals.
There are taxis, bikes, buses, trams, subways, S-Bahn trains, our own feet … Why does a tourist have to explore the city on a horse carriage? The horses stand around all day long – would the driver be able to endure this? Motionless and forced?
A coachman’s statement in an undercover video of Four Paws: “The horse must also earn its feed, otherwise we will make liver cheese out of it. There is no other alternative. Either way. The truth is brutal.”
Primitive animal exploiters have no right to use the word “truth” in their mouth.
Because the truth is that no one needs horse carriages more, only the ones who with the suffering of the horses are making money.
Well the news just supplied to us is that the planning application for this facility has now been REJECTED !
Peta tell us:
We won! Following a massive public outcry, along with a 25,000-strong PETA petition (including your signature), an application for a cruel factory farm near Harmston, Lincolnshire, has been rejected
Mark, thank you for helping to spare nearly 2,000 pigs at a time the horrors of an intensive farm.
As the good news from Lincolnshire came during the COVID-19 outbreak, let’s remember that eating animal flesh hurts us all. Pathogens like the ones behind COVID-19, SARS, bird flu, and swine flu flourish on filthy factory farms, at bloody abattoirs, and at meat markets.
Join PETA in urging the World Health Organization to call for an end to live-animal meat markets: Sign it here and watch the video:
