It's not the speed of the pellet it's the size and the type of the pellet. Yes a .177 caliber pellet can kill a pig but it most likely would take several shots, depending on where you hit it. Also "Hunting or hollow point pellets" should be used. A head or heart shot is best. I suggest At least a 25 caliber pellet should be used. If you can afford a a good hunting pellet rifle then I suggest a .25 cal Marauder, a 357 Rogue or a .50 cal Sam Yang. But these are expensive and have devistating power because they at PCP class rifles. (PreCharged Pneumatic) There are a few .25 cal springers or Nitro gas like the "Benjamin trail NP XL" that are a better choice than a .177 cal pellet rifle. .177 usually are not recommended for hunting anything larger than a rodent.
Boar or pig hunting can be done in several ways and varies from country to country. # A group of dogs find, bail and then hold the pig until the person kills it. The killing is done with a knife, a spear, a gun (such as a shot gun with solid slug ammunition) or a rifle. # Drive the pig with dogs or people (beaters) to where the shooter is ready
the smallest cal you should use would be a .243 but not something outragous like a .338 or some thing i hunt hogs with a 7mm-08.
The practice of pig hunting seems to be more popular in the southern states, such as Texas, Mississippi, California, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina.
Not for whomever has to clean the blood off the furniture.
Yes! an air rifle pellet dipped in pig's blood can cause serious wound infection if fired on humans.
No. If the pig finds out you shot him with a .22 the pig will get mad and rip you to shreds. There is a chance that a really lucky shot will work. This is not something you should count on. .22 magnum has a better chance of working, but still is kind of small for a pig.

Yes. But you had best hit it in the head and use a heavy pellet (Pellets come in different weights). Also use hunting (Hollow point ) pellets. Be repaired to give it a second shot as the kill shot.
Ralph starts hunting and sticks a pig and likes how that felt.
"kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood"
When Jack returned from hunting in "Lord of the Flies," he brought back a pig carcass as proof of his hunting skills. This helped boost his status among the boys and led to a growing division between Jack's group and Ralph's group. The arrival of the pig also symbolized the increasing savagery on the island.
