Two farmers armed with only a stick and a cleaver were almost gored to death during a fight with a wild boar in Stung Treng’s Siem Pang district on Wednesday. Mouk Veng, 46, and Morn Lan, 22, were visiting their farmland in Tma Keov commune to check for forest fires when their four dogs started barking in the distance.

The men initially ignored the dogs but, upon hearing a strange bellowing, followed the noise into the forest where they found the dogs surrounding the 50 to 60kg boar, according to commune police chief Bai Thorng Samai. The farmers joined the fray armed with a stick and a long-handled cleaver but came off second best. After the boar charged Veng, striking him with its tusks, Lan tried to help, only to become the next target.

Those poor defenseless porkers. Should have had a big bore rifle with them.
