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