I agree with you except that I think people hate it on the packed carriages because it takes the space of 5 humans.  Also I pretty sure thet don't like obesity in Mauritania, they just use it as a way to legitimaze marrying children and pedofilia. "But she looks like an adult so it's okay to marry her" they give the children obesity so they will get into puberty prematurely and develope secondary sex charactristics earlier and people will accept the child getting married. This hog wouldn't be coveted even if it went there but it's trying to use that to try to force people in the west to like her.
