no, we dont eat pork. man, come on, you should know.
This is teh same as with Warthog aka bush pig. Same argument we had in northern botswana at friend's place - arabs came to hunt warthog and ate it; including saif al islam - really and kept saying it is not a pig. They specifically ask for this animal. Man, come come, it is from swine family.
several local muslims friends also believed this nonsense - if it comes from an arab's mouth - it must be right. well the record had to be set correct.
A lot of secular jews - eat anything especially from eastern europe. But for us orthodox - no, absolulely cannot be touched or even any utensils which have been used even if cleaned is unclean.
Actually they do damage crops and will dig into the ground to get their roots.
