Hogs DEARLY love to eat snakes. If you have ever seen a razorback face off against a venomous rattlesnake, you could appreciate how the pigs do it just for the sport. You would not think such a bristly, stiff-walking creature could move with such quickness and grace while dodging the strikes from the rattlesnake. Pigs do not just rip and slash with their tusks, they also bound in the air and come down all four feet all over the body of the snake, shredding the carcass of the snake with their very pointy trotters. The snake stops moving quite quickly.
And even if the snake attempts to deliver a venomous strike, the rough and tough hide of the pig resists such a puncture wound. Even if there is a puncture and the venom is injected, it is held in the subcutaneous fat layer and does not easily enter the blood stream from there.
Pigs were MADE to be killing machines, and only our superior height and ability to apply technology keeps them from using US as part of their food chain.
True. I have read accounts of small children falling into hog pens while slopping the hogs, and being eaten. “Course this was back in the early days of America when children had to work same as everyone else.
You would if you've ever had to climb a tree to get away from one!.............
