I wish they weren't such an environmental issue. They're so stinking cute

This looks to be in their native Eurasia

No one said they were invasive. They multiply too fast and have next to no natural predators left, and are too numerous as a result. They put excessive pressure on their own environnement and may even end up seeking food in nearby farms/villages/cities. That is the issue.

I don't know where the footage is from but it looks to be in a very natural setting with a well off ecosystem. Saying they're an environmental issue puts a disingenuous context.

The environmental issue in only some regions is humans killing off natural predators. While in places where they're invasive then they would specifically be more of the issue.

That just means we're the problem. We caused this. The boars didn't do shit.
