Although there is opposition against the eradication of Feral Pigs in Hawaii, Native polynesian groups argue that by erasing the pig from the islands they are erasing an integral part their culture, and certain hunting outfits also oppose this idea, as there will be nothing left to hunt if the pigs are removed .
Many would be opposed to the thought of eradication because pigs are so indebted to our culture. So in my opinion I believe as well that we shouldn't just kill them off. If you ever watched the movie the Jungle Book one of the main ideas is that you kill only what you eat. Therfore I believe if you kill a pig you should eat it.
The lack of native mammals leaves the Hawaiian ecosystems very vulnerable. Plants have not evolved defenses against native browsing animals, especially pigs. Entire forests and have been destroyed and leveled by this species.
