Does prion disease affect pigs who eat other pigs? Is it one of the reasons we are extra careful to cook pork thoroughly?

No. The reason that we used to be advised to cook pork thoroughly was because of trichinosis. That is no longer common, so it is no longer necessary to thoroughly cook pork to the degree that it used to be.
