Never really thought about why pork was forbidden in Islam, interesting.Found this on the internet:
"Why does it have to be pig's blood?
Pig is a symbol of sloth and greed. Muslims see pigs as unclean, haram creatures (haram means forbidden by Allah). So, pig symbolizes dirtiness and disgust."
I dunno - I think they were just sticking to the original book in which two pigs are killed. You'd have to ask Stephen King why he chose to include this in his book.
Because a group of teens wouldn't want to go through the trouble of obtaining human blood, it's easier and less illegal to kill pigs.
