Pig-tour complaints led to an inspection; officials later reported no mistreatment
A video showing pigs being guided into the water at Crystal Beach prompted complaints and an investigation in August 2023. Visitors said the animals seemed distressed; Celebrity Eco Tours disputed mistreatment. Later coverage said officials found no evidence of mistreatment during their inspection, though rough conditions prevented them from observing the swimming activity that day.
