To be honest, I don't get the big deal. Yes, at first glance it seems shocking, but come on... It just sounds like the sort of childish, drunken stuff a lot of people get up to, like flashing, drawing a cock on someone's forehead when they pass out, shaving eyebrows and so on, designed to embarass someone. OK, someone had the foresight to get a pig's head, but if they hadn't the story could have been that he was made to stand on Magdalen Bridge and moon at passing police cars. It sounds like kids who thought they were cooler than they were by having their secret special initiation for their secret special society - hardly "Kill a tramp" territory.
It's not like the pig was still alive. I haven't read the source, but if it was simply "slap the old chap in there for a second", rather than, you know, "grasp the ears like handlebars and pump away" then so what?
