They are just letting them grow, and then hunting them. Not feeding or sheltering them, but not killing the herd either.

They are not domesticated, they are not captured/counted, so they wouldn't count as escaped.

As close to raising them as they can get, without actually claiming the animals as theirs.

So bad.

>wild boar hunting in Alberta is wildly popular, in part because there is no limit on the season. At HogWild Specialties in Mayerthorpe, owner Earl Hagman sells both wild boar meat and overnight hunting packages. Large trophy boar hunts are $1,800, and hunters can bring any legal weapon and are guided through the property. 

>Hagman says the packages are popular, and the business hosts around 10 hunters per month. However, he says most people “come for the meat” because of Hagmans “natural” raising process: meat animals are $1,000 each.
