[quote]A mysterious wave of deaths recently struck Big Major Cay, the uninhabited Bahamas island famous for its tourist-friendly swimming pigs. Up to half of the pig colony died and the bodies were tossed into the sea, according to reports from over the weekend. Early investigations could not identify an explicit cause of death. Wayde Nixon, a Bahamian man who brought the pigs to the island decades ago, suggested that tourists killed the animals with a lethal diet. With unrestricted access to the pigs, visitors had been seen giving the animals hotdogs, junk food and even booze. “We had the government vet in there (and) examined them all thoroughly,” Nixon told the Nassau Guardian. Seven or eight pigs died, he said, leaving about 15 alive. The ones that survived appeared to be healthy.

Who the fuck thinks giving booze to animals is a good idea.
[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;51897666]Who the fuck thinks giving booze to animals is a good idea.[/QUOTE] Dickheads. And as controversial as what I'm about to say is, having seen a very drunk raccoon, there is [I]some[/I] entertainment value, but it's still a cruel and reprehensible thing to do and I would never do it.

[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;51897666]Who the fuck thinks giving booze to animals is a good idea.[/QUOTE] Tourists by the stereotype are notorious for being absolutely fucking retarded.
[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;51897666]Who the fuck thinks giving booze to animals is a good idea.[/QUOTE] especially when said animals plan to go swimming. Dont drink and swim!
What is it with tourists and their general disregard for the place they're visiting? Is it because they know they'll soon be gone and all that concerns them is their short term enjoyment?
[QUOTE=ferrus;51898010]What is it with tourists and their general disregard for the place they're visiting?

[URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.in/entry/quokka-set-on-fire_n_7107948"]Take, for instance, the French tourist shitlords that went to Australia and fucking set fire to a quokka. [/URL] I mean, look at it: [IMG]https://img.wikinut.com/img/2uvpwzftom-06hx7/jpeg/700x1000/Quokka.jpeg[/IMG] How do you look at that adorable pile of floof and go "I must set this thing on fire." Animal cruelty is an actual marker for future sociopaths and there's a reason the FBI keeps a list of them. Accident or not, atleast fucking own up to it.
[QUOTE=ferrus;51898010]What is it with tourists and their general disregard for the place they're visiting? Is it because they know they'll soon be gone and all that concerns them is their short term enjoyment?[/QUOTE] That and generally tourists are either well off fuckwads or in the case of China, they're usually the nouveau riche and due to the cultural "revolution" in the late 60's to mid 70's they're largely uneducated to the concepts of what we would consider both polite culture and the obvious lack of academic learning. So it's largely either an ignorance thing and/or a complete disregard for anything because they're rich and who cares about the locals they're on vacation. Not to say that all are this way, I'm sure there are plenty of tourists who are fine and respectful people but there are a great many who are not in these areas just by virtue of how "tourist traps" work.
