The boys in "Lord of the Flies" are driven by savagery and primal instincts as they succumb to their dark desires. The urge to kill the pig and the violent language used reflects their regression into barbarism and their descent into anarchy and chaos. The act of killing the pig not only symbolizes their descent into savagery but also foreshadows the violence and brutality that will consume them as the story progresses.
The chant is basically a description of the climax of a hunt. The boys drive the pig into a circle of hunters who 'bash' it into submission with the butts of their spears before Jack cuts its throat and spills its blood to kill it.
Only if you have rights to kill the pig.
