Thanks. I hate when articles talk about a photo or video and it's nowhere to be seen. As for the photo, I was imagining their skin was turning blue, but wow it's actually the inside, and it's bright blue.
Thank you for your service.
They believe the cause is the industrialized use of rat poison for agriculture. The rat poison is dyed blue so humans know to avoid it. These pigs have likely been eating it directly or eating animals who died from it.
It is definitely toxic to humans if this meat is consumed.
