“Indonesian Kayangan Shark Waiting Village” Despite the many hardships and dangers, there are still people on Earth who go out to hunt sharks with their bare hands. What are these people thinking, who catch sharks with traditional methods that have been around for over 500 years, even in the midst of the difficulties of global warming? In Indonesia, the people of Kayangan Island, a remote island village, catch sharks by harpooning whales and pulling up sharks that come in after smelling the whales. This place used to be a wealthy fishing village famous for shark fishing, but now, due to abnormal climate phenomena, sharks have stopped appearing, so most of the shark hunters who have inherited the tradition have started other jobs. However, there are still people who endure many hardships and dangers and stick to their traditional methods. To these people, sharks are like the ‘sea lottery.’ Since sharks caught in Indonesia are exported overseas for a high price, catching just one can provide several months of living expenses. Some young people even go shark hunting to earn tuition. They catch whales first in order to hunt sharks, because whales are sharks’ favorite food. After harpooning a whale without any bait, it is a series of waiting, with the whale as bait, just waiting for the shark to get caught. Once you go shark hunting, you have to stay on the boat for at least ten days without moving. Since sharks love strong winds and waves, the crew also have to endure the constant shaking on the boat. When a shark gets caught on the bait, all the crew pull the rope together. The vicious yet clever shark may struggle to escape, or the crew may be dragged into the sea by the shark's strength. Kayangan Village, in this way, fights hard against nature and recalls the rich old sea. #Shark #Hunting #Whale #Indonesia #Kayangan #Moby Dick ✔KBS Documentary KBS Official YouTube Channel [KBS Documentary] ????Subscribe????Like➡️ / @kbsdocumentary ????Contact: [email protected] Copyright ⓒ KBS.
