Well wild pigs and livestock from White settlers were tools of genocide in the Americas. Loose livestock, especially hogs which can adapt to different environments, ate local flora so rapidly it disrupted the food chain. Indigenous nations relied on food chains and took conscious steps towards managing those delicate ecoystems with minimal disruption. Wild hogs and horses often broke out of settler custody that they became invasive species before whites got their.
Yeah there's also a weird eugenics angle discussed on the recent :citations-needed: about meat, where settlers believed that their livestock were racially superior to indigenous or hybrid livestock species, and that generations of consuming the meat of these "superior" breeds contributed to settlers' racial superiority. I guess their hogs really did conquer North America as an invasive species though...
