Tourist feeding can change island wildlife behavior, conservation researchers warn
National Geographic’s August 6, 2018 reporting explores how tourism affects pigs, iguanas and other wildlife in the Exuma Cays.

The article also covers conservation successes and efforts to make wildlife tourism sustainable.
This is background reporting about animal welfare and conservation, not a new complaint against a particular operator. It discusses the 2017 pig deaths already covered separately in this archive. The original article includes photographs and interviews with conservation specialists.
