John I have no idea if you are trolling or just the biggest idiot I've seen in a while. Keep your pseudoscientific bs to yourself and let the educated people talk.
While tragic, the death of these pigs is not surprising to me at all. "pig Island" is nothing more than a managed tourist attraction that kills and exploits these animals for profit while maintaining an image of being some idealistic paradise for the animals. The pigs are routinely killed for food to keep the population around 20, the pigs likely have no steady source of food (gotta keep them running up to the tourists right?), they are subject to the brutal Caribbean sun with none of their natural ways to protect themselves... I could keep going but hopefully you get the point. This place is not paradise for then anymore then sea world or a zoo is paradise for the animals they keep.
