I've seen videos of these 'hog hunts'. Overkill is the objective, it's all about firing the maximum amount of ammunition into the maximum number of animals without bothering about boring stuff like effective shot placement to ensure a relatively painless 'kill'.
Truly the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable, IMHO.
