This is the justification given in the Quran - pigs are called “filthy”. The pig remains a symbol of disgust even in cultures that consume it - see how Ukrainian memes portray Putin and Russian soldiers with pig caricatures.

Germans (I am one) are enthusiastic pork eaters, yet the pig makes an appearance in derogatory words e.g. "Schweinerei" for something messy/disgusting or "Sauhund" for a disliked person. Then again, it is also a symbol of luck, e.g. little marzipan pigs, or the expression "Schwein gehabt" for a lucky event.

Steep hillside up to the plateau of the Kottenforst. Has been used as so called 'Hütewald' in old times, because it wasn't good for much else, because too steep. Grunz!
- alexejb 2y agoit's the other way around - ukrainians are depicted as pigs. Сало уронили - героям сала!
- riku_iki 2y agoYour citation actually doesn't indicate Ukrainians are associated with pigs there.
