The practice of rearing pigs in a garbage dump in Narayanganj, Bangladesh on May 7, 2024 where they are mainly fed dirt from garbage piles, is a concerning and unhygienic method of pig farming. These pigs are usually raised to meet the demand for meat. Feeding pigs with such materials can pose various risks to both the animals and consumers. Pigs are omnivores, and their diet significantly impacts the quality of the meat produced. Besides, improper disposal of waste, along with the potential spread of diseases from the pigs, can harm the surrounding ecosystem. (Photo by Joy Saha/ZUMA Press Wire/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
