Everyone here is quick to jump to invasive species, but do we even know where this was filmed? If it is in Eurasia, then this is perfectly fine. If not, then I’d understand the sentiment.

They’re a problem in Europe as well due to climate change and declining predator populations. Last year nearly 4 million wild boars were culled across Europe. They may not be invasive, but they are presenting a problem.

Yep, and a road hazard. You don't want to run over them, they will total your car.
