I remember that story- also- folks who eat bear face the same risks- and of course wild pork- but my question is, if domestic pigs suppsoedly don’t have trichinosis because they stopped feeding animal parts in their food, then why do wild pigs still get it? (Maybe they feed on dead animals?)

Yeah, wild game (pigs/hogs, bears, etc.) get Trichinosis from consuming flesh of other animals (rodents mostly, but also the “tail biting” & cannibalism that pigs do).
