Are they a different species than the wild hogs in Germany? They look the same. They're a pest, here, too. But hunters don't require night vision goggles and semi automatic guns to control them. They're considered dangerous to pets (mostly dogs, which probably started the fight) and I wouldn't get too close to them. But deadly encounters are extremely rare; way less than 1/year in a population of 80m humans and 2m pigs.
