Pigs in Bahamas

 If there is a Pig's heaven, this is it!! Apparently there is an island in Bahamas called Big Major Cay aka Pig Beach (how original)) that is inhabited only by pigs.

 

In Bahamas, you can actually fish the bacon ;P

ANEGDOTAL HISTORY
 The pigs are said to have been dropped off on Big Major Cay by a group of sailors who wanted to come back and cook them. The sailors, though, never returned; the pigs survived on excess food dumped from passing ships. One other legend has it that the pigs were survivors of a shipwreck and managed to swim to shore, while another claims that the pigs had escaped from a nearby islet. Others suggest that the pigs were part of a business scheme to attract tourists to the Bahamas. The pigs are now fed by locals and tourists and the island is unofficially known as Pig Beach by the locals.
