I do not have the time right now to search for where I saw this discussed on Islamic sites quite some time ago.

While there are many incidents of Muslims becoming very agitated by live pigs or pig figures, you'll find no lack of fatwas saying that lives pigs are simply another one of G-d's creations and there's nothing wrong with petting or holding them at the zoo or farm.
