For decades, Guam has had an invasive brown tree snake problem that completely decimated its native bird population and then some. Your wife's proposed solution reminded me of something the military actually tried: parachute thousands of dead mice "pumped full of painkillers" across the island...no joke[1].
I suppose the key difference in liability here is: see a dead mouse on Guam, hope your pet doesn't eat it...see one of your wife's rabbits (live or dead) in Florida, immediately cordon off and notify local UXO disposal team.
