Christians have no prohibition about eating pigs. Jews and muslims are not allowed to eat pig. Hindus do not eat cattle. Some Christians have prohibitions based on their local culture about several foods (dogs, cats, horses, rats , monkeys, insects, etc.) but these are not consistent across the Christian community.

1Corinthians 8:8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

1Timothy 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with Thanksgiving;

Hebrews 13:9 Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

What do different religious scriptures say about eating animals?

The Bible and I think the Koran says it is bad to eat meat from the pig and to eat meat that was offered up to God as a sacrifice for our sins. Many Jews, Christians and Islamic people do not eat meat like that. The scriptures do allow you to eat meat from cows and other animals that chew their cud. It also allows us to eat fish. Grains, vegetable and fruit are eaten too. The Muslims avoid all alcohol and the Jews and Christians use it for special reasons but not to the excess of being drunk. Many Christians abstain from it totally due to the problem of drunk drivers. Many Christians will avoid foods that can make them sick, such as pork fat, foods that might have salmonella or other germs. Some Christians avoid meat because they want to be vegetarians, though this is not a religious requirement.

Can a poor Muslim eat pork if it is the only option?

Eating pork is allowed in one case which is the one in a deserted place and is soon going to die as he finds nothing else to eat or drink , so , and in this case only eating pork ( with the amount that maintains life only ; and not to reach satisfaction ) is allowed.note: Eating pork would be like that of eating human (cannibalism).A Muslim is allowed to eat anything declared haram in Islam provided he is at the verge of death. If he has not found anything to eat for three days. It doesn't amount eating pork as eating some human being. Human being is not haram for being Najas (loathsome). Pork is haram in itself being loathsome and detesting.


If you are allergic to pork can you have a pet pig?

If you are allergic to pork, you avoid pork. Sometimes that is hard to do. Entirely too much food is cooked with pork. Too much food is fried in pork fat. It is hard watching everyone else eating some delicious ham while I sit there munching on rabbit food. Still, sleeping in bed all night beats sitting up in the bathroom all night and feeling miserable.
