In the Bahamas there is an uninhabited island known as Pig Island (or Pig Beach) that is home to a sounder of swine who have managed to live a life that I envy more than I can say.
There are many stories as to how the pigs came to reside on the island. Some say that sailors dropped them off in order to return to them in the future to cook and eat them (only they never came back) or that the founding pigs were victims of a shipwreck and managed to swim to land. Others claim the pigs were plants for a tourism campaign that never quite took off.
Regardless of the reason, the pigs have become beloved members of the Bahamas and are often fed by tourists and locals from neighboring islands who then play and swim with the pigs (who are remarkably happy...and who wouldn't be if all you did all day was swim and eat? Fucking bastards).
After the break are some additional pics of frolicking pigs who happen to have better lives than any of us.
