    Shouldn’t we just ban rodenticide? Or at least restrict it? It’s been known to be an issue for a while now.

    Edit: I guess they just passed new restrictions last year so we can see how effective those are.

    Wow, that is very alarming in scope. I hope they plan to do follow-up studies to learn what effects this has on the local fauna.

      The wild pigs don’t really have any natural predators, but the scavengers like buzzards, vultures, condors, big cats, wild canines and bears…

    Now that I think about it, blue is the color of D-Con rodenticide.

    I wonder if that’s what the pigs were eating.

    Damn, I was hoping to go hunting and eat wild pig that I had killed myself someday.

    That’s not going to happen now…
