Because the boar is native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, those areas harbor diseases and parasites to control its population. We don't have those diseases here. We don't want them.

And the British (and many Europeans in general) have hunted just about anything living out of existence centuries ago, so they like seeing wild animals. And bending down to coo at a piglet along a hedgerow is cute, a full-grown hog not so much.
