So long as it's not going on under your nose and there's offical sanction, it's okay, even when it's not. That said, pigs aren't animals and they're very tasty, whereas jewish people aren't tasty and complain more

There's a lot of highly morally loaded language in there, and precious little argument to support it. And there remains a big, big, big problem along the lines that comparing treatments of different kinds of animal in this way is only ever going to be more than empty formalism if there is some serious sense in which the animals are morally comparable. That doesn't seem to be established here.
I simply don't buy the argument - not least because the important bits are left out.
