Where they hunted pigs. We used to use blue-dyed anticoagulant rodenticide to kill ground squirrels. Another hunter in California said, “I suppose they are teaching this in hunters safety.”
“It’s not for you if the meat is blue!” However, I’ve shot a few pigs that were that color, albeit they weren’t quite as vivid as that blue. However, that is due to a poison we applied to ground squirrels.
In squirrels, the previously stated anticoagulant seems to have a similar “blue fat” effect. The majority of commentators seems to concur that.
The pig’s consumption is the only explanation for the hue. According to a user who described as an ecologist, the pig ingested a fat-soluble substance.
“This pig has probably been consuming water from a nearby food or candy factory that makes blue dyes for their food, given that it is in California,” he said.
