salam alaikum:
"And the belivers say, we hear and we obey, forgive us, oh, our lord and unto you is the return"
this is what the quran sais about the response of the belivers to the orders of Allah, why and why not is not incumbent to any to ask, Allah taallah prohibited the consumption of pork that's it.
if there are cientific facts about it, welcome be it but we should put our faith
and obediance in Allah not in sience, because sience will not protect us from hell fire.
salam
