"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

...looks like they're prepared to take some minor casualties to get rid of the rats...it a protected area, so you'd assume/hope they know what they're doing.
Wonder how the rats got there in the first place...?

Re: South Georgia Rat Cull
So basically there will be casualties. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Area bombing may not affect their moral but it certainly will disrupt their industry.
