「A suckling pig (or sucking pig) is a piglet fed on its mother's milk (i.e., a piglet which is still a 'suckling'). In culinary, a suckling pig is slaughtered between the ages of two and six weeks. It is traditionally cooked whole, often roasted, in various cuisines. It is usually prepared for special occasions and gatherings. The meat from suckling pig is pale and tender and the cooked skin is crisp and can be used for pork rinds. The texture of the meat can be somewhat gelatinous due to the amount of collagen in a young pig.」

　Eating a suckling pig was a common way to celebrate when an infant reached one month of age, or, when the infant began to crawl with「lateral motion but still encountering difficulty, often with deposits of gushing chunks」here and there. A young pig is not an old pig yet, and an 'old pig' referred to an obese concubine who laid around most of the day, unable to walk (see 豕). Such concubines were likened to「animals kept for their meat only.」Young piglets still sucking on things were the fresh-meat concubines with painfully newly-no-longer-integrated feet who also encountered difficulty when attempting to walk or crawl on all fours, and were kept for their meat as well, much like pigs.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
