Thread: Angry Possums.... in a cage

Just do what Flyblown does?

What would a vet who worked for the SPCA do who was into opossum trapping do ? Take the cage down to the local DOC office and let the live opossum go?

I heard of one chap in a rural area who feeds the local opossum by his house with food scraps and when he has befriend it enough he uses a stainless steel butchers glove to grab it, then he shears it for it's fur and then he lets it go. A win win situation all round. The opossum gets free food and lodgings and the farmer gets the fur to sell. A renewable resource out come all round?

What is animal cruelty? We all know about "blunt force trauma" in pest control in NZ.

Pest control by drowning or using snares in NZ? How many people out there who have got tip trap mouse / rat trap and then drop the animal it into a bucket of water to drown the "pest"?
