Can we verify that the Creole pig is actually extinct?[edit]

This article claims that the Haitian Creole pig is extinct. However, there is reason to doubt this:

1) The picture of the Creole pig used, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Creole_Pig.jpg, was taken in January 2005, according to the image metadata listed.

2) Multiple YouTube videos have shown footage of the Creole pig in existence as late as 2016:

Both of these videos claim that there was an extermination campaign carried out in the 1970s/1980s, however, they claim that it was unsuccessful, and that it only endangered the pig, not led to its extinction.

While it is not possible to verify that the pigs depicted here are actual, authentic Haitian creole pigs, along with the fact that WP:UGC cannot be used as reliable sources, I believe that this evidence at least sows enough doubt for us to reconsider the "Extinct" status listed.
