By rule of the Book of Leviticus, eating pigs or even handling their hide is an [[abomination]]. , "...the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you." (Leviticus 11:7-11:8).

In the liberty of the New Covenant, not even pigs are considered unclean, unless a person is convinced they are unclean in his own mind. Romans 14:14 ''I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.''
Muslims have, and still practice, a similar prohibition on the consumption or handling of pigs.
