Because I don’t trust pigs worth a damn, that’s why.
9) Pigs are smart enough to push other animals into the electric fence, and if they don’t get shocked the pigs will leave.

But they’re delicious. So they’ve got that going for them.
You shouldn’t. They’re smart and vicious.
I’d compare them to coyotes, but that’s unfair to coyotes. Coyotes actually care for their young and each other. Pigs will casually kill and eat each other.
Yup. There’s a reason why even the really gun-hating state governments cheerfully allow no-limit hunting on wild boar.
“Diabolically smart” is right.
Worked for the US Forest Service in NE Ohio back in 78. Had adventures with all kinds of farm animals: bulls, cows, geese, goats, sheep, llamas (don’t ask) and pigs, and it was the pigs that scared me the most, except for that pack of wild dogs.
They’d hunt in packs, their sense of smell is scary, and they constantly test the fences. (the pigs, not the wild dogs).
One time we were walking parallel to a big farm to reach old survey site back in the woods. A group of pigs started tailing us on the other side of the fence, and my buddy joked that it was going to be a revenge hit for the kielbasa we had at lunch. I stopped laughing after the first mile.
As S.M. Stirling likes to note: pigs know why we keep them.
Big man pig man, ha ha charade you are.
Back when everybody knew farm animals, this is why when Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz fell in to the pig pen it was so dramatic/traumatic. They would have eaten her.
