Oh now. Hogs that are well managed are docile creatures generally. Not to say they make a great pet but other than the scenario Mr HogFarmer described of a mother defending her younguns, hogs are pretty friendly creatures.
The meanest sows I ever had dealings with were on the farm I lived on as an exchange student in Denmark. Danish Landrace mommas are ready i an instant to take you out even when you are just trying to feed them. Our Duroc and Hamp crosses growing up were never like that.
I never did find what was rotten in Denmark. I'll always regret that.
