I captured a possum in a Hav-a-heart trap a couple of weeks ago (I was trying to catch an elusive groundhog though). Anyway, I had to get rid of the thing. So I'm driving around and I see a "nature preserve" so I figure that's the place to do it.
When I pulled into the wooded parking area, there was a sign that said "$500 fine for releasing wild animals in this preserve."
I dumped him anyway and drove off. It was a beautiful new home for the little fellow, as opposed to dumping in a highway rest area. I'm sure he appreciated my lawlessness. I'm a rebel.

Hey, public servants! Just fine 'em on the technical points of the law and get on with some real work. Geez - what a bunch of wankers.

They could have made several hundred bucks off of it around here.

the PETA/ELF/A:F/ASPCA terrorist network is rampant in the US Forest Service and the Park Service.
Mostly a bunch of ignorant eco-terrorists.

You are right but this time it sounds like they arrested two of their own.

>>The deputy quoted the pair as saying they had taken "perfectly good dirt" from the garage area and dumped it under a big fir tree
where they used rakes to spread the soil to make it look nice. Either the County is starving for money or the prosecuter is living next to a hemmiroid.

Probably dirt toxically polluted from their garage meth lab.

 I can see why they're upset. All the forests around here have tile floors. Bringing dirt into a forest is weird.

If this dirt came from the FLOOR OF A GARAGE, then it may very well have been soaked with motor oil, hydraulic fluids, and solvents. These guys weren't so much caring for Mother Earth as they were evading EPA-mandated rules that require user fees on waste disposal, and which also impose HEFTY FINES for illegally dumping contaminated material.

I'm sure he appreciated my lawlessness. Except if it was a female and you separated it from its litter...

I captured a possum in a Hav-a-heart trap a couple of weeks ago (I was trying to catch an elusive groundhog though) Could have been much worse. Had it been a skunk you would have been faced with two unplesant choices.
Leave it in the trap to die or release it.
Either choice stinks.

Sell the National Forests or give them to the States, and close down the Forest Service!
