No, they didn't do it on purpose. They just got sick with the kind of swine flu they usually get but then that flu mutated together with the bird flu and some human flu strains into the Novel H1N1 (2009 Swine flu). Because pigs are very similar physiologically to humans, their genetic material was easier to change into a strain of flu that humans can get. This can only typically happen when pigs, humans, and in this case also birds are in very close physical contact, such as in a barn or barnyard. When you look at it this way, and since humans are responsible for keeping them in over crowded conditions, you might more correctly say that Humans are bad for starting the swine flu by keeping them all too crowded.
