BENGKULU, Bengkulu: A total of 77,665 boars, regarded as enemy
number one to most farmers, were killed during the year,
exceeding the administration's target of 50,000, an official
said.

The chief of the Plant Protection Division of the Bengkulu
chapter of the agriculture ministry, Usman Gumanti, said the
administration's campaign offering Rp 5,000 ($2.2) for every
board killed has paid off, Antara reported.

He estimated that there are still at least 750,000 boars
roaming around the province.(imn)
