There is a very limited market for high quality lasers. The military generally doesn't use them, it targets the shooter right back to the source, especially with any haze or dust in the air. That alone means a lot less money to develop them.
LEO/SWAT, a bit more, as the intimidation factor is there. For quality, Crimson Trace would be a start.
For game animals or pest control, not so much. Your specific game laws and regulations would have to allow it, many don't. Hogs in MO are an open year round season, no limit or license, shoot on sight. Lasers aren't allowed for deer, so having one hog hunting in deer season will definitely sound like a very lame excuse. It's simply not allowed. Check your regulations.
A red dot would do quite well. They are easy to see through, easy to see where the dot is on the target. They allow you to decide to shoot much faster than a scope because there is no eye relief problem, and getting centered doesn't alter the point of aim, it compensates for it. Out to 250 yards most don't have any trouble holding on a 24" target, and if you're hunting on anything other than a golf course, you're lucky to see that far.
Vortex, Lucid, Millett, and quite a few others make decent red dots with battery life measured in thousands of hours. They are all gun resistant for much larger calibers, and can last years of hunting use. They run in the $125 to $250 range, which a quality laser would easily exceed, with better battery life and the option of magnification up to 2X if you want.
They balance better and give you higher hit probabilities than a laser and iron sights. I've been using a red dot since the '70's, they are a huge improvement, and don't have issues with field of view that scopes frequently slow me down with.
