Yes, pigs are scavengers and have been known to eat small animal carcasses that they find - although they won't tend to actually hunt an animal down.

In the book and film "Hannibal" Mason Verger keeps pigs which he alternately starves and then feeds with human flesh. Thus the pigs become used to the taste of human meat and will devour his victims that he ties up in their sty. This is technically possible although I wouldn't recommend it as a hobby.

Pigs are opportunistic omnivores which means they will eat just about anything that can be eaten. They have very strong digestive acids that are easily able to break down fur, scales, and bone so any small animals or carrion are fair game.

Not necessarily. Pigs will eat whats offered to them. Just because people don’t care to give pigs a good diet doesn’t mean that’s what they would prefer. Pigs naturally will eat plenty of greens, vegetables, fruits, and occasionally bugs and small animals

Yes, mostly bugs. They also love to root around for shoots and tubers to eat. In some cases they eat their own young ones as soon as delivery.

Pigs CAN eat meat, and probably will if they find it. but they don't really hunt for it.
