It is explained in the book: "Dr. Lecter, erect as a dancer and carrying Starling in his arms, came out from behind the gate, walked barefoot out of the barn, through the pigs. Dr. Lecter walked through the sea of tossing backs and blood spray in the barn. A couple of the great swine, one of them the pregnant sow, squared their feet to him, lowered their heads to charge. When he faced them and they smelled no fear, they trotted back to the easy pickings on the ground," (Hannibal, Chapter 86, page 477, Dell paperback edition).

Later, one of the men who helped Mason (the one who isn't killed by the hogs), says to Mason's sister, Margot, "Signorina, the pigs, you must know, the pigs help the Dottore [the Doctor]. They stand back from him, circle him. They kill my brother, kill Carlo, but they stand back from Dr. Lecter. I think they worship him." ...And throughout his long life in Sardinia, Tommaso would tell it that way. By the time Tommaso was in his sixties, he was saying that Dr. Lecter, carrying the woman, had left the barn borne on a drift of pigs," (Chapter 88, page 481).
