THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ABORIGINAL TASMANIANS:
A BIBLIOGRAPHYCompiled by RUNOKO RASHIDI
"Tactics for hunting down Tasmanians included riding out on horseback to shoot them, setting out steel traps to catch them, and putting out poison flour where they might find and eat it. Sheperds cut off the penis of aboriginal men, to watch the men run a few yards before dying."
--Jared Diamond
