Pigs are very useful animals in poor countries (third world) because they eat just about anything that is edible. If a kitchen does not need the left over food or scraps, then they can feed them to the pigs and they will dispose of the waste. Also pigs can be used for other needs too. Although they are kept mainly for their meat, just about every other part can be used. The skin can be used to make leather; the bristles may end up as a brush, and the fat is used in cooking.
