Eating voraciously, more than necessary, pushing others aside, and rolling around in dirty mud, pigs carry aspects of greed and selfishness, just like humans. What makes us different from humans? Imagine a line at the cafeteria where students are all lining up for lunch. Pushing others to eat lunch first, asking for more food than they will eat, and leaving trash around their table.
