And they can be predatory if you are between them and food or sex or the hole in the fence.

Old and slow is right. They'll kill and eat shit. They are very cannibalistic. If there is a weak one, they will kill it and eat it. I imagine if you threw a rabbit or something in there they would kill it and eat it.
We had one that got hung up in the fence and was touching the electric fence there. And even though he was electrified half the time and shocking the shit out of the pigs that were trying to eat him, they were still trying to eat him. While he was alive. We had to get him out of the fence and separate him until he got some strength back enough to fight back when they bit him.
So yeah, you throw a dude in there with a broken leg and no way to get out, me thinks he's done. Long slow death, but he's done.
They are mean sons of bitches.
