Is Boar vegetarian?

Wild boar (Sus scrofa) is a large suid native to Eurasia and North Africa and the ancestor of the domestic pig. In cosmetics and food, boar-derived ingredients may include fat, bristles, or tissue extracts. All uses are animal-derived, making them unsuitable for vegans or vegetarians.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
