When they're young like this, they are still very curious and can be drawn near by simply wearing something dark and making a hog noise through your sinus cavity (Push air through the back of your throat into your upper sinus cavity and slightly block it with the back of your throat). They will come right up to you, sniff your shoes etc. I've done it and picked them up. They don't like being picked up and will squeal like a SOB.
As per what they will become... we have many of those already and are fully aware of what they do and have fixed their damages many times already.
Why do some people take them? Sometimes to eat them the size they already are, sometimes to raise them for slaughter, sometimes for farm pets and others to work them in gardens for plowing, etc. Any uses beyond that, I'm not familiar with nor care to be.
If you ever spot a group of orphaned small feral pigs (pigs are young hogs and piglets are not yet weaned) along the side of a dirt road, I'd highly recommend stopping and greeting them. It's one of those rare constitution building encounters we can have on this island.
