I figured he was offended by the part where they slaughter the pig and “let him bleed out on the floor.” I think Jim does the deed, in fact.

No, Huck kills the pig by himself in chapter 7. In chapter 8, after he has escaped to the island, he encounters Jim (whom he had known earlier, of course).

No, Huck does that when he fakes his death. My daughter's reading it in Junior English right now.
