13. Watch out for these signs of aggression in pigs.
You might think aggressive pigs are just a thing in the cartoons, like Miss Piggy being a bit sassy. However, there are certain warning signs to watch for when it comes to pigs, especially if you are a farmer. Just like any other domesticated mammal, farm and house pet pigs can start to show aggressive behaviors, too. It may just be more of a nuisance in small pig breeds. However, larger species can injure people when they are trying to assert their dominance or feel threatened.
What do these porkers do when they are acting aggressive? They turn sideways to show their size and will probably charge you (via Benton). They also start to chomp or snap. Pigs also use high-pitched squeals to show signs of aggression. You may experience aggressive behaviors if you live on a farm. However, even if you don’t encounter a domesticated breed, many areas have wild pigs. You could possibly come in contact with one while hiking or even golfing. To avoid being attacked, try to climb, if possible. Alternatively, you could stand and use any means you have to deter the attack.
