Actually a legit question in regards to a murder investigation.  I know they did in Deadwood and Hannibal, but in reality, will a modern farm-raised pig eat a dead human body?

Wow.  Appreciate the speedy replies.  If anyone can give a link or further info regarding this (i.e., something I could use to substantiate that pigs will infact eat a human body), I would appreciate it.

They do in such movies as “Snatch” and “Hannibal” (as well as the HBO series “Deadwood”) - if the investigation goes to jury - 95% of what people know is gleaned from the giant glass tit - so they'll think it's reality.

You'll have to ask Robert Alan Pickton of canada,

He killed over 25 prostitutes at his pig farm.   They've only been able to find 15 bodies.

without question

eta: I raised pigs a number of years and they will eat one another alive, they will eat one another's corpses, they will eat through a solid oak post (about 8" thick), they will eat through a pair of waders while you are wearing them, they will bite off digits, they will eat cats, rats, birds and will do a number on bones as well. Hmmm, I think that about covers it. Pigs unquestionably do not refuse to eat flesh. The hogs that I raised typically reached between 300-400 pounds before going to market.

It was a common practice in Sardinia, one of the major italian islands, when a kidnapping was ending bad (ransom not payed or revenge...) to kill ther hostage and give his body to pigs. They could destroy any evidence...

Try going to TN boar hunting with a bow, sticking the pig wrong and having him chase you up a tree cause he's pissed.  No doubt in my mind that they will consume a human!

I'm assuming you are serious. The anchient ban on pork by many was based on two major facts. They did tend to eat anything and were noted for rickets which is caused by a parasite with devestating health effects on people. It was easy to relate the two.

Modern farming methods and health procedures (proper cooking) have all be eliminated this as a health hazard but decades of tradition if far more enduring.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Jews don't eat pork because G_d says not to in the Torah. Nowhere does it mention the health reasons. The physical reasons can only be secondary to the spiritual commandment not to eat pork, camel, hares, etc.

Wild pigs are actually fairly clean and will eat anything that don't eat them first.  A friend of mine was hunting one day on a large ranch.  There was a dead cow in one of the pastures, as he approached the cow he noticed that it started moving.  He put his scope on the dead cow as he drove up on it.  When he got within about a hundred yards a pig crawled out of the cows gut cavity and ran off, he was green from one end to the other.

Talk about getting into what you eat.

Oh Yes! A pig will definately eat you given half a chance!

When I lived in Ireland back in the 60's a toddler on the next door farm was eaten by a pig that escaped its sty. The childs mother went insane… literally…It was a horrible incident and the talk of the town for many months.

IIRC, one of the reasons for the historical  'not eating pork' thing is because a pig is one of the few domestic animals that will eat a human.

So these two pigs are eating a clown....................................................
one pigs turns to the other and says................... Does this meat taste "funny" to you?






Seriously though, Why wouldn't a pig eat a human? Just like a shark, Alligator,Lion, Bear, etc.......Were just something to eat if the opportunity presents itself. The fact that we build roads, fly planes etc. don't mean shit to an animal.
