He was at first unable to kill the pig because he was still a kid who didn't know savagery and therefore couldn't kill the pig but later on when he does kill the pig he becomes "bloodthirsty" and always wants to kill and overpower everything and everyone.

In chapter one of Lord of the Flies, Jack is unable to kill the pig because when he has his first opportunity to do so, he is hesitant and fearful. He is not able to overcome his societal conditioning and the moral dilemma of taking a life. His inhibition and lack of experience with hunting contributed to this hesitation.
