Pigs

Pigs are hooved omnivorous mammals characterized by a large head with a long snout and a squiggly tail. Female pigs are referred to as sows while baby pigs are called piglets. Regardless of age or gender, pigs are better known for their consumptive value to humans, particularly in the form of bacon, ham, pickled pigs' feet, bologna, hot dogs and, if one must... spam (the true ingredients of which are a mystery to all).

In the season one episode Buffy the Vampire Slayer called "The Pack", high school principal Bob Flutie bought a baby pig to serve as the mascot for the school's varsity football team, the Razorbacks. Naming it Herbert, he dressed the pig up with fake spikes and a football helmet to show school spirit. Unfortunately for Herbert, a group of students who were possessed by the predatory instincts of a rare breed of hyena broke into the school and ate poor Herbert. One of these students was Xander Harris.

In the "Animal Pragmatism" episode of Charmed, three amateur witches named Tessa, Andrea and Brooke conducted a spell to transform a pig, a snake and a rabbit into three well-built attractive men.

In the series one episode of the 2005 revival of the science fiction television series Doctor Who entitled "Aliens of London", members of the alien Slitheen family staged a faux U.F.O. crash landing in the heart of London. Members of the Unified Intelligence Taskforce recovered a body from the wreckage and took it to the (referred to as Albion Hospital). This incident sparked the interest of the Ninth Doctor, who went to the hospital to analyze the staff's findings. He learned that the Slitheen had conducted genetic enhancements on a regular Earth pig to make it look like an alien.
