Pigs, also called hogs or swine, are ungulates.
Native to Eurasia, they are collectively grouped under the genus Sus within the Suidae family. Despite pigs' reputation for gluttony, and another reputation for dirtiness, a lesser known quality is their intelligence. The nearest living relatives of the swine family are the peccaries.
• The dietary laws of Judaism (Kashrut, adj. Kosher) forbid the eating of flesh of swine or pork in any form, considering the pig to be an unclean animal (see taboo food and drink) . Seventh-day Adventists and some other fundamental Christian denominations also consider pork unclean as food.
• Islam also forbids the eating of flesh of swine or pork in any form, because of its uncleanliness and its immodest nature (see Halal) .

As a Muslim there is no love lost
Between ourselves and the specie the hog
Who is a scavenger living on the flesh of
Other animals in a slimey situational bog
That I pay tribute to him as a poem
In my Poetry Blog
Because for reasons unknown
As racist recapitualtions
That my memory flog
British colonoliasm
As seen through the bleeding pages of our History Book
A corner stone on the dead body of a Brown golliwog
Poetic postulations as seen at Poemhunter through
The curtains of a smog
