Actually, a lot of areas won't eat pig because pig is considered filthy. Unclean. It's a "dirty" animal.

Also, in Islam I believe it is, they won't eat cow. Why they don't eat cow isn't because of "smart" creatures or anything of that sort. It's because for whatever reason they believe the cow is a holy animal.

Edit: my apologies. Indians don't eat beef. I don't know why I was thinking Muslims. I know better. I've been miserably sick for over a week so my mind was only half right.

That's good to know. I didn't know the specific rhyme or reason. Just that they're considered "dirty" animals.
