Rum Disguises Bait For Rabbits
Items on the menue in a rabbitpoisoning campaign launched in the Roma (Queensland) district in June included apples, carrots, vanilla, raspberry jam, flour and rum. The remaining item was strychnine. Poisoners said their technique was to place harmless baits of carrot and apple in small, speciallydug trenches for a few nights. They were replaced by servings of flour, vanilla, strychnine and rum. They .considered rum the best means of disguising the taste of the poison.
