They actually don’t. I’ve raised pigs, and they keep themselves clean- they pick one corner of the pen to shit in and a different corner to sleep and eat in, given the opportunity. The idea that they shit where they eat is probably (dunno for sure) because they clean themselves by taking dust baths, and when it rains, the wallow turns into mud. They roll in the mud to stay cool when it’s hot sometimes, but it isn’t shit.
We had a pig when I was a kid who could work the lock on her pen and escape into the fields next door to eat grass. They’re pretty smart.
Pigs were kept near to people and were a vector for disease because they share similar biology to us. They weren’t unclean because they didn’t wash their hands or something stupid. They were unclean because they made people sick because of they way we kept them after domestication.
Unclean doesn’t always mean “dirty”. A lot of things that are considered unclean by different religions are considered so because they’re spiritually unclean, rather than literally filthy. Historical riligious objections to pork are probably because of human-transmissible parasites and disease like trichinosis, which aren’t as much of a concern anymore.
Honestly this mindset shows how many quote-unquote leftists turn to right-wing tactics when people critise them for things like these.
Think about it: “Haha these people are insufferable, they must be so mad, we don’t care, let’s drive them off the board” is how your average 4chan chud reacts to a feminist. It’s the same gut instinct.
Things don’t literally have to be said to be stated. You brought up that factoid (which got debunked in by someone else in the comment section who actually has experience with pigs) to imply that pigs aren’t deserving of empathy like dogs are. There is literally no reason to bring that up other than a pathetic attempt at a rebuttal.

Okay.

So that makes them undeserving of anything resembling a life. Got you.

It’s what’s implied in your statement.

No, I’m pointing out the stupidity of the argument that talking = deserving of life.
Also, “propaganda” is an interesting word choice. I bet you would call it something else if it was a message you agreed with.
You guys are the only ones being aggressive, methinks you are projecting.
