Destruction of Rabbits Scheme Proposed by Rodier
A pamphlet issued by W Rodier of Felbeame argues current rabbit destruction methods fail to exterminate the pest. He advocates releasing captured males and killing females to create male dominance, prevent breeding, and wipe out young. The plan relies on males hunting females and breeders dying out, with publicity urging adoption.
