H. Jahke, wholesale & retail dealer in all descriptions of fresh & salt pork, hams, lard, tongues

from Library Company of Philadelphia

  That is interesting. I saw this image and interpreted it quite differently. I did not see pigs fleeing from a haphazardly operated hay rake. I saw this fellow's raking being disrupted by pigs roaming at large running past and under his equipment.

Group of men with a captured wild pig on the beach at Moreton Island, ca. 1920

  It does not seem very safe being around feral pigs. "Feral pigs may carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans. They may become aggressive if their young are threatened. Feral pigs digging for food damage natural ecosystems. Moreton Island rangers are undertaking a feral animal management program on the island focussing on feral pigs."
