You mean those diseases which have never been found to occur in pigs? Yeah. Delicious. I'm not defending this practice, but your reason to be against it is based on a falsehood.

You're right. So far we only know about transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in sheep, goats, mink, elk, deer, cattle, cats, antelope, camels, and humans, they can incubate for decades, and we can only reliably detect prions post-mortem. It'll never turn up in any other animal, nope!
