A good test. The guy is older and wanted to remain alive, despite the wishes of his family. And pigs are so close to humans anyway -- which is why I have the theory of why humans love bacon so much.

Are you claiming (most/many) humans are closet cannibals? I don’t agree with that.

Also, pigs aren’t particularly close to humans, genetically. In biological classification they even are in a different order (even-hoofed ungulates) than humans, who are primates.
