Do you have a theory? I have an answer to this question but want to see if anyone hits it first. It would appear cruel of Jesus to allow such a fate for the animals but He had a purpose in allowing the Devils to carry out their act. What was it?
Why did Jesus allow the Devils to attack the pigs?

Something related to pigs being unclean animals?

Pigs are filthy and disgusting. What an excellent environment for demons.

He may have done the lambs, but he couldn't take away that story line of dumb sheep.

Where were the chickens for deviled eggs? -

Answer
Jesus allowed the devils to attack the pigs to reveal their intent on killing the demon possesed man and to show others their power and why His miracle was truly miraculous.
