Answer 2

Yes. Pigs are like any other animal - they can be raised to be tame, or they can be fairly wild. Domestic pigs are not going to break loose and go hunting people. (Though they will stalk and kill a cat - I've seen that.) They're not hunters. They're more opportunistic. But anyone raised on a farm knows to be careful with their children around a pig pen. Remember the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy falls into the pig pen and everyone freaks out? It's because they were all farmers - they knew the pigs might hurt or even kill a child that was down on the ground. There was a woman who lived by my grandparents farm who always used to wear ringlets over her ears - it was because she had fallen into a pig pen as a child and the pigs had chewed her ears up.
My girlfriend used to say that they would eat us because they knew we would eat them.

Answer 3

Pigs have, can, do, and will eat humans under certain conditions, like:
if they're hungry. They sometimes will and do take bites out of the flesh of living human beings if they do not fear being hurt by them. They are pigs, they will eat anything. That is why gluttons are referred to as pigs.

I have seen them eat barrells of slop that had been collected for days and days behind a restaurant in those same barrels. The scrap food had deteriorated to sludge, and smelled so foul that it would make these weak young people coming up today vomit.

Pigs sometimes eat their babies after birthing them.

Pigs are very smart, and can make wonderful pets if you raise them to be. But on the farm, they can be fearsome creatures.

I am reminded of a line from Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore:

Mel (shouts to the Waitress): Where is Alice?!?

Waitress (shouts to Mel): She went to schitt and the hogs ate her!!!

Answer 4

yes, pigs can eat human beings. Recently, i read a news that pigs ate a 3 year old child.

Answer 5

Yes, yes they will. Pigs will eat anything.

Domesticated hogs must have their tusks removed. Also, a domesticated hog that escapes into the wild will become a feral pig within a short span of time.

I think some of the people answering this question may not be familiar with how dangerous, and violent, a hog can become.

Answer 6

Yes, pigs would eat a human. I have heard of cases where the bodies of murder victims were fed to pigs.

Answer 7

Depends on what type. if domestic pigs, like humans, are omnivores, making them easy to raise: on a small farm or in a large household they can be fed kitchen scraps as part or all of their diet.

Pigs are the only mammal not to have sweat glands.

If wild type of pig, they do attack human & eat them.

Answer 8

A mafia boss was beaten and fed alive to pigs. Also, Robert Pickton killed many women and fed them to the pigs on his farm.

Answer 9

Yes. Wasn't there a news story about a 3yr old being eaten by some pigs in India.

Answer 10

They'll eat anything, pretty much.
There was a horrific case of a mafia boss who had a pig farm and got rid of the bodies of his victims by feeding them to the pigs. So, yes.

Answer 11

I have heard cases of pigs eating dead corpses and even cases of pigs attacking small children, but I have never heard of an actual documented case.
