| Gentlemen: Each day as I sit in the diner opposite my house, eating my bacon and drinking my milk, I wonder: why don't we drink pig milk?... |

| #4 Cows are placid animals, as are sheep and goats, compared to pigs. I'd say the main problem is the pig's temprement would make milking one hazardous. |

| #2 Could be because pigs do not have udders like cows,horses and goats do. So maybe the amount of milk available from each teat on a pig doesn't make the milking effort worth it. Just guessing, after a little research on Wikipedia. |

| #1 David Mikkelson, of Snopes fame, used to have a hobby of writing crank letters to companies. I know that he wrote several times asking Disney to recommend one of their artists to do his Disney character tattoo. He wanted a Disney tattoo, he explained, and he knew how careful they were about their copyright, so he couldn't just have any shmoe do it. It had to be legal, from a Disney artist. So could they set him up? They patiently kept writing back to say they didn't do that, and he patiently kept asking why not. Must've had a lot of time on his hands. Anyhoo, the pig milk thing: I've always wondered why we get our milk from certain animals, and not certain others. It's nice to have someone explain these things. |
