New Zealand's Rabbit Pest Signals Alarm in 1900
The secretary of agriculture reports for the year ended July 1900 that 5,152,877 rabbits and 7,744,688 skins were exported, up from the previous year’s 4,214,962 rabbits and 6,504,389 skins. Poisoned phosphorized pollard is highlighted as the most effective control, though strict supervision is needed. Trapping, shooting, ferrets or dogs offer less effective options, while wire netting works for small enclosures but is costly for large farms.
