As far as we can understand, it is not essential to the islander's survival. Jack wants to hunt a pig partially because of the meat, but for the most part, he wishesn to have the satisfaction of pitting himself against another living animal, outsmarting it, and eventually killing it. Hunting was never something that the group needed to survive. Jack's reasons of hunting eventually become evn more and more selfish as the novel progresses.
