Why do we not eat pig or cow?

When I eat chicken, I call it chicken. Chicken wing; chicken drumsticks etc.

When I eat lamb, I call it lamb. Lamb shank; lamb cutlets.

So why do I not eat pig or cow? I eat pork or beef. Is there a reason for that?

India. I mostly eat chicken and fish.

Funny, because lamb is extremely common in Indian food here in the U.S. I guess they Americanize it, which is not shocking.

Coming to think about it, really don't know why lamb is not common here. Maybe it is some availability issue... I really don't have much idea about this but was wondering lamb/sheep have any problems surviving hot weather.
