Blue Wild Pigs Warn Hunters in California

Blue Wild Pigs Warn Hunters in California

Hunters in California found wild pigs with bright blue insides.

This happened because the pigs ate rat poison called diphacinone, which is blue.

The poison makes the pigs' insides turn blue and can make other animals and people sick if they eat the contaminated meat.

Authorities have warned hunters not to eat meat from these pigs.

The poison is still active even after cooking, so it's very dangerous.

California has restricted the use of this poison since 2024.
