A pig killing in New Ireland Province
This was in June 2012, at Malagan Beach resort,New Ireland Province. We were there for annual Sea cucumber survey and we were lucky to witness feast preparation for the Prime Minister, Peter O'Neill. Guys from the resort were getting around a tree near the beach and I decided to check what it was. To my great surprise, I saw a pig tired up to a tree upside down. Next I saw one of the man with a razor sharp knife trying unsuccessfully to cut the pigs troth. after couple of unsuccessful attempts, finally he forced the blade deep into neck pipes. Just a little squawk and pig was dead with blood gushing out of the cut and dissolved into the sand.
It was really a terrifying moment just observing the pig killed that way, but then we realised it was New Ireland way.
