To go with 'CHINA-BOAR-HUNTING, FEATURE' by Sam DAVIES
This photo taken on December 14, 2024 shows hunting dogs staying on a pickup truck before a nighttime wild boar hunt at night in Weinan, in northern China's Shaanxi province. In the frigid night of China's Qinling mountains, wild boars menacing local farmers' livelihoods are being pursued by huntsmen with huge social media followings. China's wild boars -- today numbering two million -- were a protected species from 2000 until 2023, but emerged out of safeguarding last year with a hell-raising reputation for devastating crops.
