Domestic hogs are also pretty dangerous if you fall down in a pen.

That thought had crossed my mind whenever I had seen the movie Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood, great f’n movie) early on when he has his kids separating the hogs. They were bigger than the kids. I supposed if well fed it would be less of a danger, but with animals and instincts being what they are.... it seems a little unrealistic to me.
Getting near the hogs and their litters was the ONLY thing that would cause my Gramma to kick our asses, when I was a kid.
Domestic pigs are socialized to interact with human herders, so there is probably a bit less actual danger involved as long as you are healthy and alert. The only cases I have ever read about where domestic pigs actually ate a person (and they ate all of them except for some bit of clothing)involved someone who was basically unconscious from a health event or dead (as in disposal of a murder victim).
That said, it is a little unnerving to know those oinkers are carnivores of opportunity if the circumstances are right.
