Nothing in an animal for slaughter goes to waste, they're too expensive for that.

I mean the value of various parts like organ meat varies by what it's used for, but eventually everything is used up. A lot of offal ends up in animal feed, for example. And their hooves end up in keratine supplements for the gymbros.

These are genetically altered pigs with human genes inserted, though. I can see some people being uneasy about consuming them, either from moral or pragmatic (possible pathogenicity) point of view.
