Boar-baiting is a blood sport involving the baiting of wild boars against dogs. [1][2][3]

Villagers in Indonesia call the event "adu bagong" translated as boar fighting.[1][2][3] Boar-baiting began in the 1960s, to test hunting dogs against wild boars.[1][2][3] In 2017, an online petition demanding the halt was created by animal rights organizations and the Government of Indonesia banned boar-baiting.[1][2][3]
