Wow, what an experience! That poor pig. Haha. Pigs are ruthless, I guess! I am glad that you were able to catch it all happening in time in order to make good use of him. How nice to have a helpful neighbor not too far away!

Pigs a pretty vicious, and blood thirsty. Definitely a far cry from Babe and Peppa! Really it's how you raise them. They can be a sweet as dogs, but I felt confident mine would eat me if they had the chance.
My grandfather used to raise pigs. Mom says he told her never to go around the pin if she had a cut and also to never get in the pin that they were that blood thirsty and dangerous.
Like you said, I wonder why they didn't like him. Are they usually like that with other pigs? All ganging up on one?
Pigs are very dangerous animals. I was nervous about raising them because I had a small child. I thought him to be afraid of the pigs just to be safe. Your grandfather knew what he was talking about.
I can't figure out exactly why they didn't like him. He was castrated, and not related to any of the others. Those are the only factors I can can think of that might have contributed. He was never aggressive toward the other pigs, which might have worked against him. I always felt sorry for him and hated to see him go they way he did.
Hahah, I think any pig would eat anything if they had a chance! Hahah. That's what I hear, anyway. ;) haha.
I feed them pretty much everything you can imagine while I was working as a cook and the only thing I found the wouldn't eat was whole onions and cantaloupe rinds.
Good to know!! Haha. I'd be afraid of meat pigs eating onion, not sure if it might taint the meat flavor or be pre-seasonings... Hahhahaha ;)
