Another Fiji First: As we went to the bus station to pick two
sisters up from for transfers, I saw several men bring wheelbarrows to get the
luggage out of the cargo compartments. As I rounded the bus, I heard a big pig
screaming bloody murder. They were pulling him out of his cargo hold and were trying
to put him into a wheelbarrow. After they got him subdued, Rex got a picture. Later we heard more of the story from the
Elders. The pig had ridden with them on the boat from Taveuni to Buca Bay where
he was stuffed into the first cargo compartment of a bus going to Savusavu. There
he switched buses to come to Labasa. He is undoubtedly going to be the main
guest at someone’s feast.
Notice the red twine around his neck & feet. This is what it means to be "Hog Tied." |
