GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS – The Bahamas Humane Society is calling for more to be done to protect animals after a TikTok video went viral showing what they claim is the mistreatment of swimming pigs in the northern Bahamas.
It was a clip that went viral, after visitors say they were horrified by what they thought would be an exciting swimming-with-pigs experience.

The clip sparking outrage. Bahamas humane society president is Kim Aranha.
Shelter Manager at the Bahamas Humane Society Inspector Percy Grant adding that the exploitation of the animals is not a good look for the country.

But is this treatment of pigs the norm?
