Why do pigs have an image of uncleanliness? They are reportedly the most intelligent of farm animals and would appear to be very useful in cleaning up after people.
Warrant says missing man may have been fed to pigs after stealing cocaine from drug dealer
Grandpa had pigs and chickens. He named the pigs Hitler and Mussolini. The chickens would stick their head in the pen to get some grain. Well, one of the pigs would bite the head of the chickens. I don't know if it was Hitler or Mussolini.
As the story goes. Grandpa got pretty mad about a hog killing the chickens. So he adjusted the pigs attitude with a 2x4. Knocked it's eye out.
After that, It stopped killing chickens.

We just returned from visiting family out of state, and while we were there, a friend of theirs dropped by with her dad who was also visiting from out of state. The gentleman is a Muslim from Pakistan who worked many years for USDA as a meat inspector.
It’s possible the Muslim avoidance of pork is a bit exaggerated.
Meanwhile, my neighbor put a stop to three feral hogs on my place this morning—a hog, a sow, and a little white piglet.

Made me think about the time when I was stationed at Ft. Sill Oklahoma and my Battery was tasked with keeping the guest quarters for visiting officers stocked with required basics... The Islamic students always demanded resupply of liquor... Seems their avoidance of Alcohol is abandoned once they leave home territory.
When my wife was in Desert storm, the post office had a list of what we could and could not send them in a "care package". Pork was number one on the list. Imagine my surprise when she sent me a picture of her sitting on her cot eating a Christmas dinner of... You guessed it, baked ham....
But then she also told me that while "in country" the women soldiers were supposed to fade into the woodwork and remain silent when the males were talking to their Saudi counterparts. She also told me that most of the Saudis had no problems whatsoever with dealing with US women soldiers... A lot of hype gets tossed when times demand it.

I recall that the US Government strongly advised against using a particular stamp when sending letters to US forces in Desert Shield / Desert Storm, because the image on the stamp "might offend the Saudis".
This was the stamp -
It seems that the US government thought that the female uncovered head would be offensive.
