Introduction

Pigs have long been a part of human life. The ancient Israelites
considered them unclean animals, and would not eat them; however,
many, many cultures consider them a great source of food.
The pig is present in the Chinese zodiac, a way of keeping track of
years by assigning twelve animals, one to each year. It’s also said to
predict traits and such about people born in those years. It’s the twelfth
sign, because, according to legend, the pig showed up last to the great
meeting where the animals were assigned to a system.
The pig has long been a sign of gluttony, especially in Western culture.
In the book Animal Farm, they greedily consume the best of the food,
and do almost none of the work.
