Source for that? I know there was a muppet whopping cows in the head with a sledgie that got on the news a few years ago, but I dare say estwing has been the tool of choice for possum trappers since...well, possum traps.
Anything will die "humanely" if you destroy the brain stem, whether with a .50bmg, or a ballpoint pen. (I don't recommend either for trapped possums btw)
The spca, at least in town here, has a policy of not killing them, but "rehoming" them. So I do not consider that a solution at all.Either trap them and take them too animals control spca etc for them too deal with,
