Question What does a pig hanging from a tree mean?

I saw a pig hanging from a tree three years ago on my campus and now I saw one recently from a building. It wasnt alive it looked like a small baby pig semi cooked. Does anyone know the meaning of this and the point of doing it?

Why would you ask about something that you saw 3 years ago?

Go ask the people who did it. They probably have a good answer to give you.

Maybe someone was trying to keep wild pigs out of their yard?

I can tell you what shoes on a telephone wire means. Pigs in trees, though... that's just silly.

Nah not my style to eat swine like that. I know its a tradition or ritual of some sort just dont know what it means. Thought someone out there would know. As for shoes on the wire, thats old school dating back from the 70's i think

Exclamation Actually the pig had a noose around his neck

Both times I have seen it, it had twine or some kind of rope from his neck. Any ideas?

Dude, seriously?

Why would we know the meaning behind a ritual from an unknown organization on an unknown campus? And even if we did, why would we tell you?
