Barry is 100% correct.
Even though the "wild boar" is native to Europe and Central Asia, throughout most of its range the large predators have been eliminated leaving huge herds that can actually be a real danger to humans as pigs, like ourselves, are omnivores, and when vegetable fair is inaddequate will turn carnivore so that not only are crops ravaged, but even small children are at serious risk.
Here in Fla. all "wild boar" are only ferel pigs, thus non-native and 100% distructive to what small amount of the enviroment hasn't been paved over yet and may even have a bounty on them, open for taking at anytime in areas approved for hunting.
Bears, on the other hand, ARE endangered in many areas and may well soon be things that are only seen in photos and zoos, plus their gall bladders are on the Chinese traditional medicine list, a death knell for any species.
Even 75% of the world's seahorses are endangered as Asian Viagra
