((Ktla-California wild pigs have recently been found that they contain blue muscles and fats, a sign that they may have eaten a toxic taste of rodent pesticides, according to what he said. Department of Fish and Wildlife in the state.
The laboratory test confirmed the existence of an ethasinon, and the anti -clotting rodent pesticide, in the stomach and liver of one pig that shows blue tissues in the province of Monterrey.
