On 24 November, the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board prevented an illegal hunting attempt within the premises of Islamabad Club and confiscated the hounds used in boar hunting. According to the IWMB spokesperson, the action was taken on a tip-off of an informer who noticed some suspicious activity in the forest area adjacent to the Islamabad Club. The team of IWMB reached the spot to launch a punitive action which was resisted by the Club's guards and they did not allow the board officials to enter the premises to arrest the culprits. As per the Wildlife Ordinance, hunting was strictly prohibited within the limits of Islamabad and its protected area of Margalla Hills National Park. The wild boar was captured by the hunters who were from South Punjab and they intended to first have the boar hunting here and then to take the prey animal to train other hounds or dogs on hunting in their native area.(“ IWMB foils illegal hunting attempt,” The Express Tribune, 26 November 2022)
