There are other faiths who do not eat pork. Some Christian groups observe the Leviticus 11 food laws. including many Messianic Christians. The several Churches of God who are “primitive Christian” do as well.

See:
GOD’S HEALTH LAW CONCERNING MEATS

Genesis 7:1-2, Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 give God’s instructions concerning what He created “clean” (edible) and “unclean” (inedible). Long after the crucifixion, Peter still recognized this law as binding (Acts 10:14). Moreover, after his vision of unclean animals brought down on a sheet, Peter exclaimed: “God has shown me that I should call no man common or unclean” (v. 28).

Study Topic: Do you really want to eat that?
By Douglas S. Winnail

Why did God prohibit eating certain foods? Should you follow those same instructions today?

But to draw a distinction, Mohammedans regard unclean animals as something a human must not touch either. So, for example, they will not have dogs as pets, and even Muslim cab drivers have had an issue with allowing guide dogs in their cabs, just as they would a bottle of wine. Because dog, cats, hamsters etc are not food, people who observe Leviticus 11 food laws have no problem with these animals as pets.

And you can stop a Mosque project cold by burying a dead pig at the site thus rendering it “haram” , but it matters not to a Jew or Christian who would not eat pork.

Even easier...just send them an anonymous note informing them that the site was once a hog farm (which is probably true) completely saturated with pig-$h!+.
