Dogs are #1, but not any around off leash in recent days and no dog prrints in or out of pen. I live in coyote area too and also fox,bbear and fisher cats sighted in recent years.
 
They did this to each other. It's VERY typical. They may not do it when your around it's normally rough housing and playing. If they have not had their teeth cut it will be even worst alot of newbie pigman don't know to cut the teeth as a newborn so it's becoming more common to see a roughed up ear or two on a pig and sometimes teeth cut or not they do it anyway.

Heres a short video of them playing/ rough housing

I raise pigs and agree with LMEggs. That looks like something they would have done to each other either playing, or disputing over feed. It's not unusual for them to grab one another by the ear.
