Why is Peppa a Pig?
Without any evidence, I wondered if Peppa was a pig to promote the idea of pigs as lovable pets rather than delicacies.
Regardless of whether that is true or false, I would like to know if the experts here have any information about the reason for choosing Peppa as a pig?

Snorts led naturally to pigs, and mud, and Peppa’s house on a hill. “We gave her the red dress and the name, which is sort of hot and spicy, because we wanted her to be a bit edgy and have character,” Baker says.
