As better comparables:
1) the eradication of pigs on Tikopia ("around 1600, the people agreed to slaughter all pigs on the island, and substitute fishing, because the pigs were taking too much food that could be eaten by people" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikopia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikopia)
2) the more recent eradication of all goats, pigs, and donkeys from some islands in the Galapagos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Isabela https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Isabela and https://www.galapagos.org/conservation/project-isabela/ https://www.galapagos.org/conservation/project-isabela/)
