That is one of the reasons why they perished in large numbers. Another reason was that they had no tame animals, it never occurred to them to have tame animals, so when they saw a sheep, they thought it was a nice piece of food, and they speared it. The farmers could not stand that, and explained that sheep were private property. They said, "Yes, but we only want one or two sheep, and he has thousands and thousands. " Well, what were the white men to do? They said, "We cannot stand these people.... They are no good. We will drive them away. " I can remember two things. When I was quite a little boy, I remember my father being in great indignation because some people had put poisoned meat under trees for blacks to eat if they came by. It was their way of getting rid of blacks. My father had a good deal of trouble getting those people stopped and punished. I remember also hearing a man describing how he drove the blacks off, He said he did not fire at them with rifle bullets because if they were killed there was trouble, but he fired at them with rock salt, which split into little bits, and gave them painful wounds, but did not kill them.
