Apparently (just googled it) it is because hamsters are considered an "Extreme threat" to the environment if they were to escape and start a wild colony. Clearly it was thought out - wild boars are only considered a "serious threat". So if you see a hamster coming towards you run, if you see a boar coming at you take a picture 
P.S. here is the link I found. Amazing the number of animals on the list and the level of threat some of them are considered to be: http://www.feral.org.au/feral_docume...CListJan06.pdf
