The Governor of West Java Province, Ahmad Heryawan appealed
to his community to end dog-wild boar fight (locally known as Dugong) because
it is a clear animal torture.
"Whatever the reasons are, whether it is a
violation of law or not, but it is a very clear animal torture," Ahmad
Heryawan who is also known as Ahyer told detik.com
in Bandung on Wednesday (October 25, 2017).
"I get the news
that the dog and wild boar fight to death, this I think we have to learn. If
our treatment of animals is too far especially if gambling
is involved, we are worried. If there is a violence to animals it cannot be
tolerated anymore," he said
Answering a question if provincial government of
West Java will ban the Dugong, the governor said: "I am more inclined not to do that (the
dog-wild boar fight), because of the violence against animals, they have the
right to live they have the right to be properly cared for by human beings as
God's living creature," he said.
