By some accounts — http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/...obs/index.html — Farming & Ranching is more than twice as dangerous (in number of occupational deaths) than police work! |

Yeah it would turn and run for sure and it probably would be found dead under suspicious circumstances? Lol

Domesticated Hogs can also be dangerous, notional and have little fear of humans. I dated a girl whose father owned a hog farm. He warned me about certain hogs, which ones to avoid. Some where friendly, some weren't. I watched a Sow with piglets, in an outside pen, eat a four foot Timber Rattler. This Rattler was at lest 12 inches in diameter. The Rattler struck at her a couple times, she bit it once and swallowed it pretty much whole, jiffy quick, chomp, chomp, chomp and it was gone. I was astounded. I was thinking of running to my truck to get my shotgun, but she took care of business before I could even react. The bites didn't seem to bother her any. |
Had a sow attack a ranch hand here. Started biting him like a rabid dog. He had to put it down with his pistol.

It does do a good job of protecting the hog from bites. The skin will still be damaged by the bite, but because the venom likely won't make it to the blood stream, the damage is quite limited. |
