Blue meat in wild pigs: What California hunters need to know

Wild pigs with blue meat have been turning up in Monterey County, and it’s not a weird new breed—it’s a warning sign. Wildlife officials say the blue color means these animals have eaten rodent poison, which can make their meat unsafe to eat. The scary part? Not all contaminated animals show the blue color, so hunters are being urged to stay alert and report anything unusual. This issue isn’t just about pigs—deer, bears, and even geese can be affected, especially near farms or homes using rodenticides. How should the community respond to protect both wildlife and people? #Pets #CaliforniaHunting #WildlifeSafety
