The message
from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:

The Warfarin tends to prevent the blood clotting, and the passage of
food down the gut abrades the villi (a design feature to allow
nutrients
to be absorbed through the walls of the blood vessels) and the animal
loses blood internally, and weakens and dies. There is no pain
involved.

How do you know?

Plenty of people have died, or been poisoned as a result of ingesting
Warfarin, and they have been able to describe the effects.

Indeed, it is used in medicine in small doses to thin the blood in
certain conditions. My mother took it after having a stroke.

That soundsalmost like a case of closing the stable door after the horse
has bolted. Warfarin cannot disperse an existing clot. It can only prevent
a clot from forming in the first instance.
