Humane societies call for shade, fresh water and inspections at pig attractions

In April 2019, the Bahamas Humane Society and Humane Society of Grand Bahama urged officials to regulate expanding pig-swim attractions. Their concerns included shelter, sun exposure, appropriate food and access to fresh drinking water.

The coverage also discusses a visitor’s allegations about Celebrity Eco Adventures in Freeport. The operator disputed mistreatment and said the pigs were healthy, properly fed and kept onshore overnight. This entry records the groups’ calls for stronger welfare standards, not a separate proven incident or a current inspection finding. The earlier Freeport complaint is already covered elsewhere in this archive.
