      They probably saw dead and dying ppl on a very regular basis. They ate meals in coffins atop bodies and juggled bones in the streets. Why do they suck so hard at depicting in art something they saw in life so often? Maybe they don't suck n people look calmer than we expect as they die?

Most domestic pigs aren't wild hog levels of aggressive, but they'll take a bite out of damn near anything that winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. More than one murderer has gotten rid of the body by tossing it into a pig pen and letting them do their thing iirc.

    I believe the fly story. A few summers ago I went for a picnic with my brother, who was making my laugh li!e a loon with his joshing. That's when a gnat, of all things, flew into my mouth. I instinctively drew a sharp breath and sucked the insect down my throat. I tell you, that choking sensation was horrifying! My brother rushed over to perform the Heimlich Manuever, but by then I had coughed the gnat out. Today we joke about the incident, because it reminds us of a silly song we sang as children: "There was an Old Lady who Swallowed I Fly."
