You've heard of bacon...right? Too many of just about any critter can cause big problems. And in a short period of time too.
I wouldn't eat a wild one. Some folks around here do. But if you kill a few the others won't come back.
They can smell the frying bacon too!! I must be conditioned to eat the commercially raised livestock. The fatty texture/taste I suppose over the leaner meat of wild game. But I like the idea that when we are being overrun by critters, it's win-win if the critter can be taken for food.
The listing for the Sommer Islands (now Bermuda) in the Red Book tells the story of why, even now, hogs are pictured on Bermuda's coins.
