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

Bahamas pig attractions / Grand Bahama · Added 2026-09-20

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.

Guest flags pig-bite warning, jellyfish and limited shade on Pearl Island day trip

Pearl Island and nearby pig island / Nassau · Added 2026-09-20

Guest flags pig-bite warning, jellyfish and limited shade on Pearl Island day trip A visitor describing a September 2, 2024 excursion says staff warned guests they would need to handle any pig bite themselves. The account also mentions jellyfish stings, limited shade and a tiring walk back to the ship. It does not say the writer was bitten. The same reviewer praised the clear water, animal interaction and straightforward transfer, and said the day delivered what they expected overall.
