As you may have heard of an incident where pigs ate a farmer, the pigs are revolting. While at this time, this is an isolated incident, in fact this is the first step by the pig resistance.
Many of us eat pigs, and my interpretation is that the pigs are unhappy with this. The pigs are only doing to us, what we do to them. Can you blame the pigs?
I urge you to stop eating pig meat (ham, bacon etc.). It may also be that pigs do not like being confined to farms, but we need to send a negotiator to talk to the pig leadership to find out what it is they want and also to negotiate peace.
If you are a pig sympathizer, I urge you to boycott all organizations that contribute to the killing of pigs (whether it is for meat or other purposes).

No, they're very tasty, actually. Especially as BACON. Mmmm. Bacon.

The pigs probably are revolting. Until they're cooked.

There's a minor revolt of pigs portrayed in Poul Anderson's _Brian Wave_.

will send out drones and bomb hundreds of lambs, capture and torture a few
puppies and kittens whilst issuing lots of self congratulatory press
releases. In a couple of years we will triple our budgets investing in
technology to turn dairy cows no longer producing milk into bacon.

the pig is similar to that of humans so that diseases are believed to be too
easily spread. Once those pigs that ate the farmer start their own pig
religion, the remaining pigs might not be so keen on eating farmers. Or
otherwise. Reminds me of the caveman who confided to his neighbour that it
wouldn't matter if he taught his mate just a few basic words. What harm
could it do to her?

It is true the American and human military power can overwhelm the weekly organized pigs. However my intelligence indicates that the pigs are forming a strategic alliance with the cows. This rebellion is not localized to USA, and you will have an uprising throughout the world.

Also, the animal powers (as the pigs and cows call themselves) are looking for human sympathizers. The humans are polarized, divided along religion and nationality. The Hindus who regard the cows as holy are sympathetic towards the animal powers. The Christians who believe man has dominion over the Earth and all its animals are not sympathetic towards the animal powers.

really stupid thing that someone told you. Pigs have many structural
and systemic resemblances to humans but they are genetically rather
distant. No closer than dogs, perhaps, although it is hard to
quantify. Certainly much more distant than shrews, to pick just one
extremely dissimilar anima.

the most important factor to consider when deciding whether or not to
eat meat was the quality of life of the animal concerned.
Fortunately, we have good butchers in the Scottish borders, and I can
buy free-range ham and chicken quite easily.
If it's a moral standpoint you can adopt, I recommend it.
It's delicious.

SPOILERS...
It has been some time since I read it, and here is how my memory recalls the story.
In it aliens arrive on earth. The humans do not know what the aliens intentions are. A human spots an alien reading a book called "To Serve Man", and thus humans are relieved and come to believe that the aliens intend to be of service to humanity. However, later it turn out that "To Serve Man" is actually a cookbook for the aliens...

It's kind of like all of those people who have some reason to define
us as unique - either better or worse than other animals. Then we
observe other animals doing the same thing, so they have to change
their reason. Because it is important that we are on top.

:: Whats wrong with eating any part of the animal that's dead ?
Well for one rather obvious point for the general case, little fleas
have lesser fleas, so you're not eating a part of the animal that's
dead, you're eating a part of the animal that's dead PLUS potentially
all the lesser fleas that killed it, some of which may not be truely
most sincerely dead. Such as bactera, virussesses, prionses, etc.
Among others. Some of those have no reasonable/reliable sterilization
procedures that still leave anything edible. Or at least, nothing
palatable or nutritious.
Not that that's strongly relevant to nightingale tongue, but still.
And anyways, the upthread note was that it's "crass", not "wrong".
Even the french hide their act in shame when they eat ortolanses.
(Wikipedia says it's not an act of shame, but of courtesy, but
that still has implications of crassness...)

around in space, and get an emergency call from a planet. When they
arrive, they discover that the vaguely anthropoid indigenes that a
prior survey expedition had written off have now developed a prospering
society. And, they've also contracted a really nasty plague.
The M.D.s take blood samples and such-like, and eventually find a
virus in the affected beings. They develop something to wipe it out, and
start its distribution. However, the ones injected tend to go catatonic.
The virus is wiped out, but their condition is worse than ever.
The M.D.s eventually work out that the suddenly development of
intelligence in the natives was literally "in the natives". Each one
had been hosting an intelligent colony of virii. They didn't think
to much of the vaccine. :-<
