Target: Joko Widodo, President of Indonesia
Goal: Stop cruel dog and boar fights in Indonesian villages.
Villages in Indonesia’s West Java region are hosting brutal pit fights between dogs and boars. These animals are kept locked in small cages and forced to fight until only one is left standing, which the villages claim is to test the animals’ hunting abilities. The winner is allowed to heal, but the loser is made into meat— whether they are dead or alive after the fight. Dog fighters are given a $2,000 reward if their dog wins.
We cannot let this go on. Innocent animals are being horribly mistreated for the sake of unethical fights, all for the sake of a few moments of audience cheers and a potential cash reward for the winners’ owners. The locals defend these brazen acts of cruelty as a beloved “tradition” that must be upheld at all costs, despite animal rights activists describing them as “a criminal act against animals.”
We must protect these innocent creatures from dying in such a cruel manner. Sign this petition to demand the West Java region’s villages outlaw these fights now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Widodo,
Villages in the West Java region are pitting innocent dogs and boars against each other in brutal pit fights. The animals are kept locked in small cages and treated poorly overall before they are forced to go head to head, fighting tooth and claw until only one remains standing and the other is either dead or near it. Either way, the loser is slaughtered for meat.
You cannot allow this to continue. These poor creatures are forced to maim each other for the sake of audience cheers and a cash prize for the winner. It is unethical and cruel, despite the villages’ claims of it being a beloved “tradition,” and it must be stopped and outlawed immediately. Protect dogs and boars from this brutality by initiating a countrywide ban on this barbaric practice.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This is watching a murder occur ! It is sick and depraved!!
Peoe are so sick and demented. Who gains pleasure from this should be put down.
Please stop
, don’t these people need food they should be eating the wild boars instead of doing s*** like that
This is an abomination in the eyes of God and to all the people who believe in God. This is cruel, evil, Horrifying, and disgusting to even allow this to take place, let alone the people watching and finding it entertaining!! This behaviour of people is of hell and the devil!! This needs to be STOPPED and OUTLAWED!!
This is so wrong it needs to stop
Put the people in a ring and make them fight to their own death !!!!!😡😡😡😡😡❤️
This is barbaric. These people doing this needs to be brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
This is inhumane for Indonesia or any other country. Lets put the scum bags who run these killing events into the fighting ring. The loser gets eaten but the lucky winner gets to do it over and over again until he looses. What joy. He probly wishes he would have lost the first time to get him out of all the pain and misery
These disgusting beings need to stop. Maybe we should make them fight and then feed them to the poor animals they abuse. I hate these kind of people.
