Description: Text reads 'Ulva Island Rodent eradication Plan #2' Someone offscreen yells 'NA NA NA NA NA NA NA RATMAN!' A line of rats watch suspiciously; one of them says 'Brace yourselves boys' and a second adds 'for some comic relief'. In a second version the man yelling has landed headfirst 'SPLAT!' and the words 'for some comic relief' are missing. The third version is the same as the second but the rats say 'SPAT!', 'RAT!' 'Poetry in motion'. Context - Twenty rats have been found on the former rat-free island, in Paterson Inlet at Stewart Island, since the beginning of the year, sparking fears for the safety of native wildlife. Department of Conservation Stewart Island biodiversity manager Brent Beaven said both adult and juvenile rats had been found on the island and that meant there was an established breeding population. A team of rat eradication experts will meet in Southland on Wednesday to devise a plan to save Ulva Island. (Southland Times 20 January 2011) Quantity: 3 digital cartoon(s).
