Even if you can afford the $200 tour or even the $3,500 one, there's still an additional cost to consider. In early 2017, it was reported that the pigs, who used to have their island completely to themselves, had been dying off . At the time, Kim Aranha, president of the Bahamas Humane Society, told Tribune 42 , "It could just be a horrible accident where they ate something poisonous. It could be malicious but I don’t really see why someone would go out of their way to hurt those lovely animals. I know there are a lot of silly sailors that go and feed them alcohol to try and get them drunk but that's not to mistake them with the tour operators based out of Nassau who have treated them with excellent care."
