This might have hone into 'The Well' area but I felt it gives us insights into King ezekiel's though processes so posting in Characters instead. "...Sadly, this tactic is not a method of poisoning Negan and his Saviors. As pointed out in issue #117 of the comics when Ezekiel's tiger Shiva eats a walker, animals are not effected by the zombie virus. As cool as it would have been to see Ezekiel take down the group by forcing them to eat their own demise in the form of trojan-pigs, it is not what's happening. Speaking to ComicBook.com following his debut on The Walking Dead, Ezekiel actor Khary Payton explained exactly why the king is feeding zombies to the pigs before handing them over to the Saviors. "Hey, man, if the Mafia dude comes over and makes you a deal, and he's like, 'I want a bunch of pigs and they better be a nice size,' and you've got limited options, you go fill a bunch with zombie guts," Payton said. "There seems to be no end in sight as far as the supply of zombie guts. I got to feed my people, too, so I'm going to feed them the good stuff!"... link

I read up a little on it, and the Mafia has a history of disposing of dead bodies via pigs. Besides it's one of the most intelligent plans I've heard of; if they get sick, win; if they don't, then they might get sick, if they don't then it's a way to shut them up for a while without sacrificing good food to feed them. I'd feel bad for the pigs though but... beggars vs choosers.

They don't know what they're getting, and I hope no one ever spills the beans, either. I hope the Saviors get worms or something from eating that mess. It's better than they deserve!

What does Shiva eat? I know Zeke said she eats enough food to feed 10 men, but didn't mention what that food is?

I originally thought the walker-fed pigs were a plan to make the saviors sick, but reconsidered. I highly doubt Ezekiel would risk hurting the people who aren't exactly thrilled to be at the "Sanctuary". It's just a smart use of resources, a way to save the good food for KE's community. (And a little f u to the saviors, lol. )
