Are you refuting it out of your scientific knowledge, or because apes doing it to pigs disgusts you?

From my limited understanding of genetics. From what little I understand it would be impossible for a primates sperm to fertilize a pigs egg cell or the other way around, hell, the sperm shouldn't even see the egg as a viable target and if injected into it nothing of any consequence would happen. But as was said by Mayers, the person who put up the hypothesis has every opportunity to run experiments and report his findings to peer reviewed papers where his findings can be tested.
