Just last week in the New Forest (england) somebody was attacked by a wild boar, had the tip of his finger bitten off. The Boars escaped from a farm a few years ago and now there are lots.

Ha! That was what I immediately though of when I read this.

I've heard about these feral pigs for years. I'm not sure if they are domestic pigs that escape and just regress or do they breed with wild boars or something?

I think somebody was farming Boars for the meat and a few escaped some years ago. I am suprised that nobody is "rustling" them i think wild boar meat, organic at that, would sell for a premium?

They aren't easy to kill as far as I know, at least they aren't in Far Cry 4 or Primal. Nearly as bad as badgers.

Pig hunting in New Zealand is a very popular pastime. All you need is a knife and two or more dogs , plus a body with plenty of stamina. In my earlier years
I had a property bordering on a large forestry and Maori land and often went with some friends pig hunting. A great way to get an adrenalin rush.

Feral pigs in NZ dont have the parasites in them

In Oz most of the wild pigs have harmful parasites so it is risky to eat them

Those Kiwi parasites are usually in the sheep.
