On the above, please see : “Sordid tale of “bribes,” racism and deceit.” “NEWS ON SUNDAY” newspaper, Mauritius, 5-11 November, 2000, (page 9). A metal jerrycan (for storing petrol) is used in Mauritian séga music as a percussion instrument.

GASSING DOGS IN DIEGO
Now, get this savage lot out of here for good :
We have to cater for our folks, for their food,
For their shelter, for everything that be need\'d :
From here, let the exit of this bunch be speed\'d !
No Man Friday here must be left to stray :
No creature around our facilities must foray;
Mop up everything : and everybody :
Nothing must be left : not a dead body…..
Phew ! What an exasperating lot they can be…..
They are always moaning about everything :
They want to cling to yon bloody “house” :
With us they want to play cat and mouse.
But, we\'ll sort them out in no time, they\'ll see :
What\'s escaping from yon exhaust be quite free…..
Ho ho ho ! Them bloody dogs go and capture :
We’ll teach here something of our great nature.
What a useless lot, them dogs : round them up, man !
Order yon moronic Tarzan to play on yon jerrycan !
We\'ll gas them howling dogs with the jeep exhaust :
Hi hi hi ! We\'ll unleash here some secret holocaust…..
Civilisation is a good myriad miles away, we say :
Who the hell will find out about this barbecue ?
Do as we say : from us you must take the cue :
Jump into yon jeeps, stick into neutral, rev away…..
What a cheap and convenient final solution…..
We have to save up for building the base :
We are dead sure about our noble case :
\'Tis the best thing to do, in our opinion.
In empire-building and economy are we grand masters :
Dog care societies won’t know the dogs fell to fiery shivers.
Dammit, we have to save up on wood, on coal, on oil :
Even from yon screams and howls we will not recoil.
Stick more wood into the furnace :
We need hot water, we need heat;
Come on, run along, increase the pace :
Here we’re going to roast our juicy meat ....
