A somewhat common staple in criminal and horror fiction. In a terrifying twist on the Gluttonous Pig trope, serial killers or mobsters use a secret pig farm to dispose of their victims' bodies. It's most likely Truth in Television. Pigs are omnivores rather than herbivores, meaning that they do indeed eat meat if they are able to come by it. Fact of the matter is, pigs can eat almost anything they can chew. No matter how special and worthy of respect we consider the corpses of us humans, it's the same as any other carcass to a pig, meaning that they will chow down on it. A pig's body is also quite up to the task of digesting almost every part of the human body. They can not only chew and digest human flesh, they can also readily digest human bone without excreting a noticeable trace of it. Of course, they can't quite chew the skulls and longer bones that humans have, but if our killer has enough determination, they can just break said bones into smaller, more chewable pieces. They also can't digest human hair and teeth, but it should be a simple matter to shave your victims' heads and pull out their teeth before chow time, right? And that's assuming you're paranoid enough to think anyone's going to start shifting through excrement piles for evidence. Not only is this trope plausible, it's also downright horrific because it not only involves an invocation of humanity's Primal Fear of being eaten, but also the chilling factor of role reversal. Outside the pigpen, you eat pig (if you don't have dietary or religious restrictions that include pork, or dislike the taste). Inside our killer's pigpen, however, pigs eat you. Also, there's the possibility that someone will eat the pigs that have been eating humans, which isn't the same as I'm a Humanitarian, but still squicky in its own way. Also, this trope can also be applied when some Fat Bastard gets eaten by pigs, in some kind of Laser-Guided Karma. Subtrope of Disposing of a Body, Eat the Evidence, and Fed to the Beast. It's also a Darker and Edgier subtrope of Gluttonous Pig. See also This Bear Was Framed, when the killer tries to make the murder look like an animal attack. Related to Food Eats You, when the idea of being consumed by food is even more literal. For bonus irony, human flesh is sometimes called "Long Pork" due to its alleged similarity to pig meat. So be doubly careful if someone offers to serve you Long Pork Pies. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Adventure Time: Spoofed in "Apple Thief". When Finn, Jake, and Tree Trunks are captured by thieves, they're threatened to be fed to the pig — who, like many animal characters on the show, is fully sapient. After all four escape, he even hooks up with, and eventually gets married to, Tree Trunks. | |

Bones: A body was found in a pig trough, and evidence pointed to a man who'd "allegedly" disposed of a body the same way before. He isn't the killer. The real killer dumped the body at his house, knowing he'd get rid of it. Brennan’s own mother was killed with a stun device used in pig slaughter and then when she died months later, she was disposed of this way. |

In Hannibal, this is Mason Verger's idea of a Karmic Death for Hannibal Lecter, playing into the role reversal aspect; Hannibal kills and eats people he considers rude to demonstrate that they're no better than pigs in his eyes. Mason specially breeds a bunch of pigs for this purpose, training them to associate screaming with meal time and stuffing clothes full of fruits and meats to get them used to it. It then goes very, very badly for Verger when he tries to actually implement it. | |

In Hannibal this is Mason Verger's idea of an Ironic Hell for Hannibal Lecter, and he specially breeds a bunch of pigs for this purpose, training them to associate screaming with meal time and stuffing clothes full of fruits and meats to get them used to it. It then goes very, very badly for Verger when he tries to actually implement it. In the book, the description of breeding the pigs, training them and eating a few hapless humans who had fallen into the pigsty makes for a lot of Gorn, yet any Real Life criminal could have skipped it; normal pigs, domestic or wild, could and would have eaten anyone if hungry enough and coming into a large herd to overpower the human. Given Verger's other egotistical traits it's likely he went through the trouble as a sign of his obsession with Hannibal. Unlike in the film, in the novel Verger doesn't die by the pigs — his death at the hands of his sister Margot is actually worse. | |

The X-Files episode "Our Town" uses the chicken variation. A small town which is famous for its chicken plant, Chaco Chicken, is secretly home to a cult that practices cannibalism as part of a rejuvenation ritual, with disastrous consequences as it has infected many of the townsfolk with Mad Cow Disease. The ending implies that Chaco, the founder of the plant, was fed to the chickens after he was murdered. | |

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Critters", this trope is combined with Fed to the Beast. Rustic villain Farmer Brown tells his daughter to get rid of Bullock this way, while he's still alive. The pig-pen only has one pig in it, but it's a genetically mutated monster (likely bred to be carnivorous rather than omnivorous), much like the rest of Brown's livestock. (Fortunately for Bullock, Batman shows up in time.) | |

In the Grim Hollow setting, one of the many unique monsters is the Ogre Swine, a pig that has mutated after consuming human flesh. Unless kept by a powerful master, such as an Ogre of the Vale, usually only one pig in the pen will transform, whereupon it'll eat the other pigs and then escape to go hunting for new victims. Ogre swine are freakishly huge, with enlarged, sharpened teeth, disturbingly hand-like trotters on their forelimbs, and the ability to laugh and cry with disturbingly human-like voices. | |

The Magnus Archives has a somewhat more grim take, as a farmer finds that a very large, very unsettling pig has taken up space in his pen. First it eats the other pigs. Then it almost lures his sleepwalking brother into the pen, with the brother singing a song about "long pig" all the while. Then a circus sets up on the farmer's fields, and a clown goes missing... | |

One of the stories included in More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is about a butcher who used human meat Sweeney Todd-style in his sausages, eventually being caught. When the neighbors found out, it was unknown afterward if he was fed to his own hogs or if he was killed in the sausage grinder that he used to grind human meat. | |

In Shadowchasers: Conspiracy, mobster Vincenzo Belsito (who is a devil swine, a type of lycanthrope derived from wild boar stock) explains to Bonnie how this type of body disposal used to go down. (His intent, of course, is to hint that he'll eat her once he's through with her; she's an assassin who had earlier killed a friend of his. She isn't being much nicer, insulting him with fat jokes while taunting him.) | |

A non-criminal example from The Wardstone Chronicles. This happens accidentally to Mother Malkin at the end of the first book. She shouldn't have attempted to flee through the pigpen while she was shrunk and the pigs were agitated. This is foreshadowed when the book brings up earlier that children are not allowed near the pigs when they're too small, as they could easily be trampled and devoured by the hungry hogs. | |

In the Secret Wars tie-in 1872 The Kingpin throws Steve Rogers' body to the pigs after shooting him. The panel before that shows Steve actually survived the bullet and thus was likely Eaten Alive. The Kingpin stays to watch, enjoying the hogs' work. | |

In Disenchantment, Sorcerio has a trapdoor in his laboratory that leads to a pen filled with hungry pigs, in case he needs to remove evidence of any failed experiments. As we see with an old nobleman named Lord Lingonberry, after a botched Elixir of Life potion kills him instead of restoring his youth. | |

The Night of a Thousand Cats presents a variant of this trope - instead of using pigs, Hugo disposes of his victims by grinding them into mulch and then feeding them piece by piece to the titular felines. | |

Millennium (1996). The Judge is a pig farmer who uses ex-convicts to inflict Karmic Death on people he believes have escaped justice. He invites Frank Black to join his cause, but when he refuses the Judge hits the police with a lawsuit to make them back off. Unfortunately for the Judge his ex-convict killer regards this as hypocrisy, hamstrings the Judge and throws him to his own pigs to be eaten alive. The killer also regards this as a Karmic Death, saying: "You're either a man or a pig." | |

The pigs in Red Dead Redemption 2 will chew through any corpse that gets in their vicinity. This is a handy way for you to dispose of bodies, and there is scenario where you help a prostitute by doing this on a dead patron. | |
