Your uncle was absolutely correct in saying that pigs are very intelligent animals and don't deserve to be eaten....but the muslim thing is a bit incorrect.

In Indian Hindu culture pigs are considered demigods ( Varaha : Form of Lord Vishnu ) hence we do not eat them...this is a way of respecting the animal and it's intelligence whereas in Islam it's allowed to kill a pig and leave its body to rot away.

Muslims do not believe pigs are the devil, nor are they allowed to kill any animal and leave it to rot. As a matter of fact treating all animals with care and respect is a big part of the religion. Please do not listen to the words of someone who clearly has no clue what they are talking about.

Muslims do not eat pig because it’s a commandment and there’s various studies proving its health risks.
