What a crock! Why do people that don’t live here continue to spread this kind of trash? I don’t know anybody personally that eats possum or lives in a home with no utilities and a dirt floor. I know there are poor people here that live on Welfare but there are people like that all over. People that don’t live here don’t know what they are talking about. We HAVE moved into the 21st century. Southerners are the friendliest people you will ever meet. The Southern culture is the best anywhere. Tennessee does have the road kill law but that means that if you hit a deer on the road out of season that it is legal for you to pick it up and have it processed without fear of being fined rather than leave it to rot. It’s a good law but of course people that don’t live here intentionally take it out of context.
As reformed yankee (Packed up and moved to NC in 98) I agree with every word.
Maine has the same law and it's a sensible one.
