Why did Jesus allow the Devils to attack the pigs?

Do you have a theory? I have an answer to this question but want to see if anyone hits it first. It would appear cruel of Jesus to allow such a fate for the animals but He had a purpose in allowing the Devils to carry out their act. What was it?

A demonstration of the power and authority of Jesus over the supernatural and a spectacle for the public to see how destructive demons can be to animals, and by extension to humans.

I think the area was a Gentile city, but if it were Jews keeping the swine that could shed some light on it.

Were those people there Jews? (I don't know)

If they were, why did they have a herd of pigs in the first place.

Jesus allowed the devils to attack the pigs to reveal their intent on killing the demon possesed man and to show others their power and why His miracle was truly miraculous.
