Once the daily mail get hold of a story like that it probably gained momentum to stop the waste going to the pugs.
Tbh the reality is the pig have a hard digestive system that can digest rotten meat they are basically scavengers. I have my doubts whether that was the real cause it was probably poor living conditions. Like a pig shit as the phrase goes.

I recall this is what was reported at the time as causing the 2001 outbreak - a school caterer had bought in a load of cheap meat from outside the country (doesn't bear thinking about, really) and the waste was used at the farm in Northumberland that was the source. Dunno if this was proved or disproved subsequently.
