Explain the 'Rat hunt' programme ?
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 11 months ago

  • Rats were most common in the modern newly built areas of Hanoi.
  • To get rid of rats, a 'Rat-Hunt' was started in 1902.
  • The French hired Vietnamese workers and paid them for each rat they caught.
  • Rats began to be caught in thousands but still there seemed to be no interest.
  • Those who did the dirty work of entering sewers found that if they came together, they could get more money.
  • The bounty was paid when a tail was given as a proof that a rat had been killed.
  • So the rat catchers took to just clipping the tails and releasing the rats, so that the process could be repeated over and over again.
