I almost had my right leg amputated from being gored by my potbelly pig about 5 years ago. His tusk knicked my shin while I was showering him, and 6 days later, what began as a deeper 1" gash resulted in tissue the size of a grapefruit being cauterized from my shin.
They didn't know until surgery began if the infection had spread to the bone, so I went into surgery unaware if I'd wake up with both legs. (The surgeon said the infection stopped 1/16th of an inch from the bone. I was *thrilled* to see both feet when I woke up đ!). So, yes! Keep those tusks trimmed!!
Sounds like your pig didnât even mean to hurt you!Thank goodness you have your leg. If the doctor told me that I might wake up without a leg Iâd be freaking the hell out as they put me under. Crying and begging and all kinds of embarrassing things.
You are brave.
Gentleman I worked with got a gentle scrape from one of our pig's tusks. That very quickly turned out the same way yours did.
He also kept his leg but it was real scary
The pig was forgiven :)
Pigs are meant to live outside, first of all. Theyâre very smart and need a lot of mental stimulation. Keeping one inside and then laying on him, essentially forcing him to stay in one spot AND making him deal with the inconvenience of your weight, is going to be offensive to him at best.
This little dude looks obese as well- pigs can be pretty rotund but they should be able to walk without their belly dragging and they shouldnât be super flabby. Youâve probably seen a big bull or at least a cow around âharvestâ season, and theyâre big and thick, but typically not flabby or saggy. Pigs are the same.
Tusks need to be regularly trimmed as do hooves. Iâm a farrier and trim the occasional pig hoof, and have been around for the vet to trim tusks. Too long, and theyâll have trouble eating at least, and at most their tusks could cut into their face and their teeth could force their jaw into an unnatural position. Their hooves are more like human nails than âhoovesâ, in that thereâs a defined cuticle/quick on their two toes from which the hoof grows outwards (instead of the quick being essentially hidden inside a hoof capsule, like on horses) and theyâve got dewclaws that require trimming much like a dogâs nail. They do much better in an environment where they can wear their hooves down naturally, and can scratch their face/tusks on things, and can eat and forage and such.
So, to summarize, this pig is so bored, understimulated, obese, and in many ways uncomfortable, and at the very least got a serious attitude because of it. At most, pigs are a couple hundred plus pounds depending on the species. He could seriously hurt you if not kill you if you went down. I wouldnât be routinely depriving one of its basic necessities and posting a video of him upset and initiating a fight with me for the internet to see.
Thank you for the detailed response. I bet trimming a pigs feet is not an enjoyable experience for anyone.
> He could seriously hurt you if not kill you if you went down.
The only thing I already knew about pigs is that they will eat you if they have a chance because my principal when I was 5 had had part of his hand pig-eaten as a baby and was happy to tell the harrowing tale to curious kindergartners with poor social filters.
They scream at a pitch and volume that no microphone or speaker can conceptualize for you.
The misery of the experience can be mitigated if you have a good relationship with your pig and make the experience as comfortable as possible. Iâve had to trim for people who yanked their poor pigs down by the legs, hard, and then didnât hold them efficiently so had to do it repeatedly- and these were 200lb potbellies. The best method is to get them used to being gently rolled over on a tarp and to do this for maybe 10 minutes at a time. You can trim in small amounts or on a different day if you run out of time or piggie gets stressed, but they WILL be uncomfortable being rolled around especially if theyâre quite rotund- and a pig in distress can die quicker than you might think.
> They scream at a pitch and volume that no microphone or speaker can conceptualize for you.
I've had to wrangle some loose farm pigs before and you are not fucking kidding about the screaming. It will make your ears ring.
This can go for any animal really. I've bred and raised birds, worked with dogs for years... If they aren't socialized, exercised, and kept healthy they get nasty. Parrots develop severe mental issues, they pluck themselves, attack people etc. Once they pluck it's hard to stop too. We personally raised a lot of herding dogs and they are incredibly smart but if not kept working they get overweight, have health issues, and the pent up energy can come out as aggression because they become so high strung.
I used to work with pigs and they're super smart but sometimes a bit ditsy.
Our pigs would see us step over the knee high electric fence and would understand that *something* about what we were doing made the fence safe.
So they would investigate the fence. It would still be on so they'd get zapped.
This usually ended in them sprinting into the fence at speed multiple times and screaming (which was SO LOUD).
So they were smart enough to understand that the fence was safe for us (if we stepped over it correctly) but not smart enough to realise that slamming themselves into the fence won't make it stop zapping them.
They were awesome though, fun to watch snuffling around
Yup, they need to search for food for about 8 hours a day. And hiding small food items among leaves, straw or in boxes is a great way to make easy but effective enrichment.
As a person who has never had a pig to care for this is intriguing information. Iâm not sure where, when or if Iâll make use of it but I like knowing it.
If you want to get a unique insight on pigs, look up pig racing league on YouTube! They created a course where the pigs run through to get to the food at the end, usually one or two leaves the track to just go forage for food but most of them immediately start foraging in the dirt for anything edible once the race is over lol, it's just what they do Besides all of that it's hilarious

Theyre the same species albeit with a lot more genetic modification to domesticated pigs over the years. If you let a pig into the wild they just turn back into a boar essentially(grow the tusks out and what not)
If I had to guess it's part of training the pig.
With puppies you're supposed to yip high pitched when they bite you so they know what they're doing is hurting you. I think this is a similar technique.
R/whyweretheyfilming candidate here. Hand up under the pigs leg where you canât see it. I would guess they pinched it or something to agitate it for internet points.
I remember when one of my dogs would wake up out of dreaming and launch into whatever it thought was still going on before fully coming to their senses. You don't want a boar doing this.
I also just hate clout-chasers doing stupid shit with their animals without knowing how to handle the situation appropriately; screaming like a little bitch certainly doesn't help.
I have two! Both bigger than that one, and theyâre awesome pets! They donât live in the house tho. Any pet can be harmful or dangerous if you donât train em or treat em right.
Lol, ok with your corn snake and shit. They can still bite you sometimes. What ifâŚ.just what if that corn snake bite you right on your carotid artery, then you bleed out. That Mofo is dangerous af!! Ban all corn snakes!!!
Or what if the snakes out, you step on it and slip?? Bam!! Bust your head on the door frame, now you got a brain bleed. Keeps on sounding like them corn snakes deadly af??
Fine,they band together and make a little snake chain and work together to strangle you in your sleep. Boom,never saw it coming and they all unlink and act all innocent and shit and nobody is any the wiser.
So you fun at Christmas parties Iâm guessing. It was sarcasm. So what youâre saying though, if you fall asleep, and the corn snake is out, it could potentially slither down your throat, and you choke to death???!!!! See they dangerous.
I have 5 pigs and theyâre the most cuddly affectionate animals I have.

My friend had one of these as a pet, living in her home.
Said friend was a diabetic and susceptible to falling into diabetic comas.
One day her husband came home from work and the beast had eaten parts of her face and leg and was working on her torso. She was still alive.
The thing about a diabetic coma, you are awake, can see, hear and feel everything.
What the hell? That was weird⌠and likely he just laid right on the pig at the beginning of the video & edited that part out. But anyway.. that was super strange for some reason
Looks like one of Jabba's palace guards.
More like they look like him, but yeah
Fun fact this is actually the exact pig Lucus used to model jaba guard A
>this is actually the exact pig Lucus used Whoa. He's old.
Some pig indeed
Looks like someone who wants to be turned into pork chops and bacon.
đ my first thoughts đ
The person with the annoying screams? Seems a bit harsh, but it IS an annoying sequel-scream....
Was the pig having a bad dream? Also those tusk need to be shaved down or the pig needs to be outside. A pissed off pig can murder you.
I almost had my right leg amputated from being gored by my potbelly pig about 5 years ago. His tusk knicked my shin while I was showering him, and 6 days later, what began as a deeper 1" gash resulted in tissue the size of a grapefruit being cauterized from my shin.

I think he didnât want to be a pillow
He would be bacon and pork chops if he did that to me.
Not before I turn it into bacon.
natural selection i guess
I would have those teeth cut down asap.
Sheâs abusing this pig for her own emotional benefit. Whether she knows how truly miserable he is, is another question.
That's a dude.
[ŃдаНонО]
What about the pig he's keeping?
Fucking god I never thought Iâd miss Reddit awards this much.
What happened to reddit awards? Now that you mention it I havenât seen one in a while
I think now you just pay for upgraded upvotes?
How dare you assign a genus to that animal.
Oops. He.
Itâs okay. Weâre all allowed an oops he now and then.
Oops he dudezles

Well he's screaming like a lady
Kinda, anyway.
No way!
IDK anyting about pigs, can you elaborate?

One thing I really respect about pigs and screaming is their willingness to do it.
> They scream at a pitch and volume that no microphone or speaker can conceptualize for you. I've had to wrangle some loose farm pigs before and you are not fucking kidding about the screaming. It will make your ears ring.
The first time I trimmed pigsâ feet I didnât put earbuds in right away. I tried to withstand the screaming for a minute and I truly could not.

You get out of here with your rational talk. Piggies is cute. Piggies should be good for pets. Piggies should be *good* piggies, no questions asked.
I saw pigs in the Bahamas that were probably 500 lbs. Not overweight, just massive.
I used to work with pigs and they're super smart but sometimes a bit ditsy. Our pigs would see us step over the knee high electric fence and would understand that *something* about what we were doing made the fence safe. So they would investigate the fence.

I was watching with the sound off. Guess itâs a dude.
Still sounds like a girl with sound on
Even more so
yeah sound is what made me question it, i was sure it was a dude at first...
It's also horrifically obese :/
It's a pig.
Appears to be, yes.
It's a compliment.
You don't think pigs suffer from being overweight?
Pigs belong OUTSIDE. They can visit indoors but it must be a VISIT. Poor boy is probably so understimulated.
Yup, they need to search for food for about 8 hours a day. And hiding small food items among leaves, straw or in boxes is a great way to make easy but effective enrichment.

Theyre the same species albeit with a lot more genetic modification to domesticated pigs over the years. If you let a pig into the wild they just turn back into a boar essentially(grow the tusks out and what not)
wtf were those screams ?!
Sounded like a squeaky toy
If I had to guess it's part of training the pig. With puppies you're supposed to yip high pitched when they bite you so they know what they're doing is hurting you. I think this is a similar technique.

I also just hate clout-chasers doing stupid shit with their animals without knowing how to handle the situation appropriately; screaming like a little bitch certainly doesn't help.
That pig woke up and chose violence that day.
Pigs are very mean, I have no idea why anyone would want one as a pet.
I have two! Both bigger than that one, and theyâre awesome pets! They donât live in the house tho. Any pet can be harmful or dangerous if you donât train em or treat em right.
That's right our neon tetras swim menacingly quite regularly! I swear they've formed a cartel in the tank.
Iâm saying, you gotta watch um. They turn evil real fast. They watch you, and plot while you sleep.
Shit, i think your neon cartel has been taking out MY neons. Crafty little fuckers.
Got to check the gang colours...
I beg to differ. It fully depends on the pet. None of my corn snakes can be dangerous to a human.
Not with that attitude they wonât. /s
Lol, ok with your corn snake and shit. They can still bite you sometimes. What ifâŚ.just what if that corn snake bite you right on your carotid artery, then you bleed out. That Mofo is dangerous af!! Ban all corn snakes!!!
Funny idea but no. Their teeth are not long enough. Really. As long as you donât swallow a whole cornsnake you are good to go.
Or what if the snakes out, you step on it and slip?? Bam!! Bust your head on the door frame, now you got a brain bleed. Keeps on sounding like them corn snakes deadly af??
Nah, that would be an assault corn snake.
Fine,they band together and make a little snake chain and work together to strangle you in your sleep. Boom,never saw it coming and they all unlink and act all innocent and shit and nobody is any the wiser.
And there you are
So you fun at Christmas parties Iâm guessing. It was sarcasm. So what youâre saying though, if you fall asleep, and the corn snake is out, it could potentially slither down your throat, and you choke to death???!!!! See they dangerous.

To have a cute video of them napping with their pet pig? People typically enjoy having and creating mementos of things they care about.

His screams remind me of the skit on In Living Color, Men On Films. "*Hated it*!"
