Clay from the YouTube channel has an argentinian dog which eats pigs so maybe it depends on the breed.

Not only pork, my old man wouldn't kill a sheep or hang it in the full moon, ( no killing shed) so out the back under the willows hung in muslin. Reckoned the full moon meat/fat would not set... Bullshit / old wives talle maybe ...not sure myself just the way he did it ...and the way I was brought up to do it.
Any way, bone taint as I call it , is when the meat doesn't get cooled fast enough and rots / goes off! Especially wild pork ..well in my experince dogged pork ..stuck and packed out whole the lion and throat area in summer doesn't get enough time to cool ..chucked on the back of the truck ...drive home in 20 degree heat and the loin will be pink and unpleasant.
@stingray bone taint is real, as you say it's caused by not cooling the carcass as quick as you can, or leaving it overnight with the gutbag in it and recovering it a day later - they take a long time to cool with the guts in. But not hanging it in full moonlight for fear of moonpork had been proven false. There isn't enough uv or heat in moonlight to be a problem.
@Gibo, I did not realised you already talked about it. At least it gives a few more info about what those two things are and do.
I just heard on the radio that the tox screen results will be made public this morning. Lock in your votes, BANZAI!
End of the day the media is now making a big deal its a Wild Boar that may have caused this. It doesnt matter , if its the meat its pork, could have been chicken or fish from the supermarket. If its undercooked you may get sick, or not looked after before eating etc like any meat you going to consume you risk getting food posioning. Already people on the net on the band wagon for banning pighunting as wild pig not safe to eat. Its all Bull shit, its as safe as any other meat as long as you cook it properly etc. So much wild game is consumed in this country its not funny. Some havnt been taken care of before eating as good as it should but more people get food posioning by chicken than what someone has shot in the bush.
Its all about how its prepared and cooked, simple as that
