Well, pigs will eat anything, and anyone.

They'll eat their own, in some circumstances, though it's usually only going to be in bad conditions, or opportunistically. It's extreme rare to see it happen among feral swine, though it does sometimes occur. But wild pigs will eat any dead critter they run across, even other pigs. It's more rare that they'll eat another pig they know. It does happen, but even if you live where the damn ferals are endemic, you might only see evidence of it a handful of times over decades.

So, out of all animals that you'd think of for kid's stories, a pig is probably the most appropriate pick for a butcher. Maybe a cat or dog (though I think cats would just eat their business out of business, not wanting to share.) would fit.
