Kerala MLA Sunny Joseph calls for law to ‘cook wild boar with coconut oil’ instead of burying it

The Hindu  

Sunny Joseph, a senior Congress MLA in Kerala, has called for a law to “cook wild boars with coconut oil” instead of burying them with kerosene. Speaking at a meeting at Kottiyoor in Kannur, Kerala, recently as part of the Opposition UDF’s ‘Malayora Jatha’ protest march, Mr. Joseph criticised the current rule, which, according to him, requires that wild boars shot using licensed guns be buried after pouring kerosene on them. "A licensed firearm is needed to shoot a wild boar, but in the entire Kottiyoor panchayat, only one person has a licensed gun. Mr. Joseph, the MLA for Peravoor, added that if the Congress-led UDF comes to power, it should introduce a law to allow wild boar meat to be cooked.
