RE: mule footed hog
My buddy and I trapped a mule footed hog in south Georgia about 10 years ago, but only the back feet were like that. The front were the standard cloven hoof.
The muslims I met in Iraq would eat pork if it was given to them for free in the chow hall, but no other time. I can't blame them, if I only made $11 a day, I wouldn't be picky about food either. Some of them also ate camel spiders... I hear they taste like crab, but I never tried it.
