Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

Wild boar injures man and kills dog in Kobkeo District

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Ratanakkiri: A man was injured when he went hunting a wild boar at 1:35 pm, on March 08, Kreang Village, Kobkeo District, Ratanakkiri. The victim was a 45 year old farmer, named Romeam Peun, belonging to the Tampuan indigenous ethnic minority.
The police said that the man went into the forest with his dog to hunt the wild boar. But suddenly he got ambushed by the wild pig which jumped out to bite him and his dog. He was seriously injured on his shoulder, so his family took him to the hospital, but his dog was already dead.

Boar gets eaten. Man 1- Pig 0. Shame about the dog.
Mr Hul identified the victim as Roman Poeun, 45, a member of the Tompoun tribe.
“He was walking his dog to look for wild animals and set traps. The dog died after being attacked by the wild boar. I got this information from the son who was with his father,” he said.

“When the boar attacked the father, the son jumped in and hacked the boar several times with an axe until it died. Boars will become malicious if they sense a threat to protect themselves just like humans do,” he said.

The boar was given to the family for food because the incident did not occur in a conservation area and because it is customary for the Tompoun people to hunt to support their livelihoods, Mr Hul added.

That's a warthog, not found in SE Asia to the best of my knowledge.

They are talking about a wild pig/ bush pig boar, completely different animal.

I think you are right. The OP says the man and dog were bitten by the animal, not gored. Your pig looks like a more likely candidate than the warthog.

Maybe he was trying to play polo and the pig got annoyed.
