Wild pigs are more a threat than a pest. If encountered in the wild, they can easily harm anyone. They are often hunted for sport.

Wild pigs are considered a pest because they cause extensive damage to crops, landscapes, and ecosystems. They root in the soil looking for food, which can destroy vegetation and lead to erosion. They also compete with native wildlife for resources and can transmit diseases to livestock and humans.
