Followers Of q certain religious

"The plague has been caused by
two factors. First, the conversion
Of Lake Buena Vista into q grape
field which provided an abundant
food supply and shelter.
Secondly, the absence Of coyotss,
bobcats, hawks. mountain lions and
other predatory animals which have
been destroyed by man,

It was estimated at the university
that one pair Of mice WATCH begin
