so called raised pigs in particular sows with piglets can be a real problem -- a good farmer friend went into his pig field just checking on several sows with piglets-- as he turned to close the gate, a sow run to him and tossed him in the air as he came down his head hit the fence and partially scalped him. when he came to at first he couldn't understand why his head was jerking around
another large sow was chewing his scalp and more coming as they smelled the blood when he sat up they backed up and when he stood they moved away.. Herman spent a while in the ER
he had a number of pig stories the lesson is if the raised can behave badly-- the wild ones certainly can
