What happened. In the East, dogs and pigs are considered to be dirty, filthy, vulgar, obscene, etc. Lumby says: "But all the loathing which attached to these outcasts of the brute creation did not suffice to portray the defilement of these teachers of lies and their apostate lives. It needed those other grosser features - the return to the disgorged meal; the greed for filth, where a temporary cleansing serves, as it were, to give a relish for fresh wallowing - these traits were needed ere the full vileness of those sinners could be expressed." Lipscomb adds: "It should be observed that in both instances the animal was changed. That each returned to its former offensive habits does not alter the fact that a change had occurred."
