Blue Pig?

[Oso Grande]

Not my story but figured you guys might have some ideas..... Or at least would want to see it.


So, my in-laws live on a ranch in Morgan Hill, CA and they shot a wild pig on it. They thought it a normal pig until they cut it open.

Reddit thread on it:
reddit.com: over 18?

That's kinda creepy. Would definitely speak (to me) of something long term in this animal's diet. Now, the push comes... "ban copper bullets !" (You know how THAT crowd thinks.) Please post up "the rest of the story" when the results come back.

Wow. Wonder what that hog has been eating?

Maybe? Turns squirrel insides blue. Anticoagulants

Looks to be the same color dye.

Smurf hog! Very rare in Texas. LOL

That's what happens to you when you get out there in one of those whacko states and start thinking your entitled to everything. Your danged insides go turning blue on you.

By George... I believe you're onto something there Kemosabe. Not so sure that hog would make it to the table. Inktristink read.

I lived not far from Morgan Hill in California. Lotsa ground squirrels get poisoned for sure but also lots of Junipers in that area. Maybe they eat the berries.

 

[Ratdog68]

That's very true too... good find there too Dan.

I've seen hogs up near Appalachicola National Forest years ago that we killed, and the fat on them was pink. We threw the first 3 or 4 we killed away, thinking there was something wrong with them. Then we found out there was a local plant called "pink root" that caused the fat to turn pink. All the locals said they were fine, so any we killed after that we kept. They all laughed when we asked what was wrong with the pigs we had been killing that had pink fat disease.

Apparently it happens around the world.
