Those tusks are sharp as razor blades, and they can stick out about 5 inches from the side of their face. So they run past people really fast, and cut them with the tusks. And they can get 400 pounds, and have a lot of babies at one time.
I've heard one hog will never charge you unless you do something to it first. I know someone who has tried many times to get a hog to charge them and the hog always run away. I may be wrong about this but usually they just run away. Maybe packs of hogs react different or when you hunt with dogs or shoot at a hog they may charge. One time I was walking a trail in the middle of the night and I heard some giant hogs like 5 feet away. Probably a couple hundred pounds at least. They just ran away in a hurry. Those tusks are gnarly though. And it's not too safe to eat hog meat. They have diseases. But I would eat them in a SHTF scenario. Which is probably the only good thing about them really.
But yes. Invasives need to go. Not just the animals but the plants too. The plants are just as bad. I feel bad about it but it needs to be done. I used to get mad at people who kill the invasive animals and I try not to kill them myself but they just take over and make a mess of things. Birds, lizards, fish, insects, mammals, plants. It's a really big task.....
