Some don’t, some do. A colleagues daughter who is 4 had the realization that chicken is… chickens, which are cute and funny and nice to pet. She won’t eat chicken now.
The colleague keeps chickens for eggs so she’s exposed to them on a daily basis, so maybe that’s where the difference lies. A pig isn’t a common animal kept in a household or even most backyard farms so a child might not have much exposure to them.
Just a thought, dunno.

- com2kid 2y agoOh we've gone over the complete list of what eats what including all the bidirectional cases towards the top of the food chain. Sometimes he'll think up of a pairing and ask me to check online which animal eats the other. Yesterday it was praying mantis Ed VS spiders. Turns out that can go either way depending on the spider.
- com2kid 2y agoOur neighbor has chickens. We sometimes help out with the eggs. One day my son asked if we can go eat one of our neighbor's chickens. I had to explain the difference between egg laying chickens and meat chickens. Also I explained that it is rude to eat your neighbors' animals without asking first.
