I cannot speak for Muslims, but Jews are not allowed to eat Pork. Jews are only allowed to eat animals that have spilt hooves and that chew their cud. That’s why cows are fine, as well as deer and goat and lamb. However, pigs only have split hooves but do not chew their cud. Yet, there is no prohibition to pet a pig (if you so desire) or move pork out of the way at the local meat section of your supermarket to get to something you want.
