Is there even a reasonable and practical solution to the feral hog problem which is not especially cruel to the hogs?
What do you think is the best way to deal with all these hogs?
I think killing feral hogs is fine if they pests though I don’t know anything about rural life plagued with feral hogs.

I usually refrain from citing The New York Times, but this is pretty good introductory article.

I don’t know the details but I suspect if the US had not killed off predator species then the hogs would not have been able to expand their range or whatever happened. This makes me think that reintroducing predator species could help if that is possible (NYT is paywalled so I can’t read whether this would work). I’ve seen vegans that consider privileging ecosystems over individual animals as non-vegan but ecosystems stability is important to the well-being of many more animals than the mbers of the invasive species.
