These four lines suggest that the sow is deserving of love, and that the perceptions that society has for this species may be unjustified. Animals are a blessing from God, and have never done anything to deserve any sort of judgment or mistreatment from humans.
Kinnell brings to light in this poem that sometimes people are too quick to disregard things based on the perceptions that society has set for them, rather than looking at things as they truly are and forming their own opinion on them. Every life put on this earth is precious, no matter what its reputation is.
