USE OF RABBIT POISON
TOLL OF GAME AND NATIVE BIRDS [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Oct. 22. The opinion held by many game sportsmen, that phosphorated poison used extensively in some parts of New Zealand to kill rabbits had taken considerable toll of game and other birds, was supported by Hon. W. E. Parry when interviewed to-day. He said that the laying of rabbit poison was one of the problems the game branch of the Department of Internal Affairs had to face.
The departmental officers have made special investigations of the areas in which birds were to be liberated and have selected areas where the birds would receive every protection from sympathetic prop-erty-holders and where there would be no rabbit poison,” said the Minister.
