Reasons for Prohibition of Pork in Abrahamic Religions

In the context of Abrahamic faiths, the consumption of pig meat is distinctly prohibited by the dietary regulations observed in Judaism (known as kashrut), Islam (referred to as halal), and certain Christian denominations such as the Adventists (which adhere to kosher dietary laws). Within Judaism and Islam, as well as parts of Christianity, pigs are regarded as unclean animals, making their flesh unsuitable for consumption.
