Technically it is. Bacon is generally referred to in the sense of it being pork. Beef, Turkey, and any other animal with a belly can technically render bacon. It gets cofusing because the United States National Pork Board (USNPB) released that very famous ad campaign, "Pork, the other white meat." This has brought about a large demographic confusion as to the true nature of the product.
Accordring to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) pork is a red meat. All livestock (Pork, Beef, Veal, and Lamb) are considered as red meat. This name comes from the ammount of myoglobin (a protein which retains oxygen) in the cells of the meat. While pork does turn whiter as you cook it longer, it is always red/pink when it is raw.
