No, they didn't do it on purpose.
They just got sick with the kind of Swine Flu they usually get but then that flu mutated together with the bird flu and some human flu strains into the Novel H1N1 (2009 Swine flu). Because pigs are very similar physiologically to humans, their genetic material was easier to change into a strain of flu that humans can get. This can only typically happen when pigs, humans, and in this case also birds are in very close physical contact, such as in a barn or barnyard. When you look at it this way, and since humans are responsible for keeping them in over crowded conditions, you might more correctly say that Humans are bad for starting the swine flu by keeping them all too crowded.

Can you call Swine Flu just swine?
Some people do but it is incorrect. Swine simply means pig/hog. The flu, Swine Flu, is called that because it started as a virus that only infected pigs, so it was the flu that the swine got. Since viruses mutate easily, it changed into a virus that caused flu in people as well as pigs. The name Swine Flu stuck then and also now with the virus causing the pandemic which is actually a third strain of the swine flu virus that people pass to people.
What is the symtem of swine flu?
Swine flu is a new outbreak of flu that started in pigs, then mutated and jumped over to humans. It is just like a normal flu, but some people are dying from it. In my opinion, it's not that bad. It has only killed people from Mexico and some third-world countries. Honestly, the only reason people are making a big deal is because it's new. I know the bird flu scared lots of people too, and that's a big part of this whole fuss.
