Historically, pigs have been kept in filthy conditions to "enhance" taste. Medieval Europeans would actually make sure the poor animal's environment was as dirty as possible because the belief was that it would be tastier when eaten. I completely agree with you that by nature, a pig is no more "dirtier" than other animals, externally speaking. They maintain cleanliness and use mud only to thermoregulate. However, the fact is that pigs ARE scavengers and they eat anything so when kept in captivity, they do eat feces, dead carcasses, and other revolting things. Believe it or not, pigs DO eat their young whenever they're kept in captivity, stressful or not. Back in elementary school, we visited this farm and I remember the farmer telling us that they have to keep the pigs separated from the piglets because no matter how clean the pen is or how much space they have to roam, they will still eat their young. This is a behavior exhibited by captive pigs whether they are under "alot" of relative stress or not (because being captive is already enough stress).Originally Posted by JOE CAMEL SMOOTH
you get rid of the majority of toxins through urine, feces, and even breathing. i'm sure pigs do all of those things, dont you think?
your religion is your religion, but let's not let it get in the way of reality. pigs are not any more "unclean" than any other animal. eating your own young only occurs when stressd and in captivity, not in a normal natural environment. furthermore, while strange, this activity is not "dirtier" than eating any other animal. and i highly doubt eating humans is like eating pigs, but if so i bet human ribs are deliciousOriginally Posted by Wooly Willy
Speakingfrom an Islamic perspective, there are multiple reasons why pork is badbut the main is that because the pig is an unclean animal. Pigs arescavengers and are known to eat anything including their own young whenkept in captivity (such as a pig farm). On top of that, the pig is verysimilar to human beings from a biological stand point. Many of thepig's organs are similar to human beings that they are actuallyconsidered the best possible organ donors from among the animals. Also,people with insulin dependent diabetes often use pig insulin fortreatment. Because of all this similarity between pigs and humanbeings, eating pig flesh is compared to eating human flesh and isprobably similar in taste

Bush pigs are delish. They have less fat and taste better. Pork isn't evil but I try not to eat it too much cause it's fatty. My asian friend took me to this restaurant where they cooked slabs of the fattiest porn belly slices and I almost vomited.

At the end of the day though, like you said, modern developments have made it possible to safely consume pork without illness and also to breed the pigs in hygienic environments (although they are not for the most part) so this a matter of religious and personal values. In my opinion, pigs were not created for human consumption just like the dog, cat, rat, etc. I'm sure that most Americans are completely disgusted by the consumption of dog meat by some east Asian cultures but who are we to tell them they can't? I'll simply say that I don't eat pork because my religion forbids it based on the ground that it is not meant for human consumption and I am just as disgusted by the thought of eating pig meat as many Americans are by the thought of eating dog meat.
