Thats is ridiculous and your friend should not be allowed to hunt. The only thing causing disease is your friends rotting boars on the side of the road. I have been hunting Texas for Deer and Boar every year for the past five years leaving the day after Christmas each year with my Friend and our Boys. Wild Boar hunting is alot of fun and the meat is fantastic. From the marinated back straps to the slow cook pulled pork BBQ roast and smoked sausage the meat is amazing.
People like your friend is what gives real hunters a bad name.
I can also say that a Wild Boar population should be kept under controll because they do cause alot of property damage and multipli faster than rabbits.
