No, you Animal Liberation Victoria nutjob, possums are a pain in the arse (especially when they get in under the house and pee all over everything, as the ones around our place do) and the only reasons I don't get a gun and shoot the annoying little buggers is because 1. They are a protected species here, 2. I live in a residential area and would risk hitting neighbours, and 3. I don't own a gun.

Possum dishes such as Road Kill, Headlight Delight Pie, Guess That Mess and Shovel-Flipped Roadside Pizza have incensed Animal Liberation Victoria (ALV). Bwahahahhahaahha at the names. Possums must be as abundant as racoons(usual roadkill animal) here, although we have our share of possums too.
ALV? Is that any relation to the terrorist group Animal Liberation Front here?
I'm still waiting for the save the weasel campaign, let alone save the rat, yellow jacket, carpenter ant, termite, deer fly and mosquito campaigns.

They stink, and there isn't enough bar-b-q sauce in the world to make them edible.

,,, maybe we should ask the NSW tree huggers why kangaroos can be taken out no problem at all. We see those as your national symbol, much like the kiwi is ours.
We've got over 70 million possums and they chew thru so much native bush each night... it's amazing.
To: KangarooJacqui
possums are a pain Any species which single-handedly tries to disprove evolution can't be all bad.

Up came the leftists, a ridin' their bicycles,
Up came the activists from ALV,

It has its rights just like you and me!"

Wild meat is the best meat esp. when stewed in curry and lots of pepper.

Hmmmmm...maybe I should start selling dog pie in Tonga. (Just kidding, but they do eat dogs here, esp. fat dogs of foreigners.)

The possums in New Zealand aren't the same as the ones in the US.
To: cyborg
,,, curry BUMP! You'll do well at Tulsi!
To: PAR35; KangarooJacqui
Any species which single-handedly tries to disprove evolution can't be all bad. And you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.
They are succeding because they are pretty good at adapting to changing environments.
