Possums are cute in their homeliness and rather less noxious than rats. What’s a couple of ‘em on a golf course? Ya think they could give them some little brooms and scoops to clean up after the geese?

I’ve noticed them perched on electric lines above my back yard on several occasions in my KC suburb. Drives my pups crazy (which drives my neighbors crazy with their obnoxious barking).

Prime example of “eco-engineering” gone wrong.They’ll eat anything(including rodents),but i assume foraging through garbage is easier.Upside?Been told that possum is edible.

NYC should have asked me before they did this stupid thing. Rats and possums are coexisting happily in the ravine behind my house.

Only a moron could approve bringing these disease-ridden critters to an urban area.Rabies,distemper,and who knows what else these carry.

They thought they would eat rats? Everyone knows the main diet of urban opossums is cat and dog food!

‘Posums don’t hunt and aren’t predators. They scarf down everything from road kill to garbage to occasional nestlings, but hunt?

Back in the ‘80s I was sent to the Marine’s PX in Kaneohe, Hawaii air station to work on their computer. The big local joke was that in the early days somebody got to idea to bring mongooses over to take care of the rat problem in the sugar cane fields.

After freeing a whole bunch, it was found that the mongooses slept all night while the rats ran wild, then hunted all day while the rats slept.

Like New York City, they now have a problem with both.

A possum isn’t very bright but he is wired for survival. They don’t starve to death easily.
