Question about the Hogs Gone Wild TV show?

So my boyfriend and I watched the Hogs Gone Wild TV show last night and the whole time we were saying "Why don't they just shoot them"? I mean I can understand not firing in a neighborhood I guess, but some of these people are on ranches and farms and these wild boars are destroying their livelyhoods. These people are turning their dogs loose to bring them down and tie them up or they are trapping them and hauling them off. So are they turning them loose elsewhere? I don't get it and they didn't explain on the show. Does anyone have any ideas or experience in these matters?

    As far as I know the preferred way to take pigs is with catch dogs and knives. In some cases a person can take the time to set up in a stand and pick one off, but the last thing a person would want to do is shoot a pig at close range while it's thrashing with several dogs. As far as hog tying them and hauling them off, I guess they're tying keeping them fresh or something because I guarantee they are headed straight to the butcher. There's a line from the movie No Country For Old Men that rings a bell it goes something like, "even in a contest between man and beast the outcome is not sure."
