Quote - That's interesting, because I always thought pigs were vegetarians, but evidently they eat meat, too. We had two hunters go missing years ago in Michigan, and only last year the police caught the guys who murdered them and fed their bodies to hogs, yecchhh!
I don't know if the pig would literally have eaten him -- although she might have. I've heard that pigs will eat just about anything. But no -- what the sow objected to were her offspring's squeals of distress at being picked up & handled. Her actions from there were to protect her piglet from what she interpreted as an attack. She might not have eaten him. But she very well might have killed him.
