They sure do eat meat. Have seen them munching on an armadillo carcass. Not much they wont eat.

Hogs that like blood will keep looking for it. Seen that many times on the farm. I have an uncle that had a car accident in the early 70s. He was ejected from a car into a feedlot of hogs. Was impaled upon a metal fencepost and trapped there. The farmer heard the accident and came to investigate. Got the hogs off of my uncle before they could kill him, but not before they started eating him.

When I was a kid my aunt and uncle were poultry farmers in Arkansas, every morning we would walk through the houses and pick up dead chicks. Usually about 2- 5 gallon buckets.
Then we would dump them in the hog pens. They would be GONE IN 60 SECONDS.......yep they are meat eaters.

Pretty sure a pig will eat whatever it pleases. I've seen them eat on other dead pigs.

Oh yeah, theyll eat anything and i think they like meat. I had a wild pig in a pen and always heard they eat anything. So killed to jackrabbits and threw them in the pen fur, bones, and all. That big devoured em like nothing and seemed to enjoy them (purely speculative on the pig liking rabbit?

We had some kids in the neighborhood who had caught a wild hog and they fed it anything and everything from meat to sweet. That hog would eat a big road-killed jackrabbit, walk off and burp and come back for a couple of more and never even slow down. You have heard the old saying that so and so went to _ _ _ _ and the hogs ate him. I think that statement would be literal and figurative. Don't get in the pen with a big mean one. You will end up as table fare.

Used to shoot hogs over gut piles regularly. I would call them omnivores, like you and me, they eat meat and vegies.

Pigs are omnivores. They will eat anything. Usually we shoot pigs off dead pigs and gut piles. I have always heard that a pig won't eat a raw onion though. If that is true then they truly are one of the smartest animals there is!

I call them "anyvores." Plants, check. Animals, check. And they will plumb tear up a mineral block. Not many mammals hit for the trifecta.

They didn't find this guy quick enough. Hogs will finish off a deer fast.

It's easier to make a list of what a hog won't eat than it is to make a list of what they will eat. +1
