Is at least healthier than empty carbs and artificial flavours.
Personally I don't like Vegemite. Trust an intellectual giant such as
yourself to try to make it about nations when cereals are a worldwide
scourge.

Possums are very agressive, don't try to chase them when they're
eating cat food, they'll turn and chase you. They are definitely not
ascared of a broom. Skunks are worse, they'll stink up your deck so
bad you won't be able to go out for over a week, their stench will go
through your walls. It's best to let them eat until they leave.

Well, I've startled opossums before, they just stood there
stock still for ages.

I would have liked that, so I'd have the nerve to get up to
the cage and open it.

Creepy is a nosey busy-body that asks personal information of a stranger. I also have to wonder what kind of guy considers a breakfast cereal to be a worldwide scourge. A drama queen perhaps?

Now who would be a drama queen here, when somebody is getting
hysterical about somebody questioning their crap diet.

I love animals too, in their own environment, not mine. I see a lot of dead
possums on the city streets around here at times, my other dog made short
work of the small ones, which was pretty sickening really. Yuck.

I don't kill them and there is a whole lot of wild territory for them to
inhabit without coming to my small place. I do catch them in a Haveaheart
trap when necessary, but they haven't been around for several years now. I
blame one of my neighbors for feeding them though which caused them to stay
at the time.

I love animals too, in their own environment, not mine. I see a lot of dead
possums on the city streets around here at times, my other dog made short
work of the small ones, which was pretty sickening really. Yuck.

Kinder to shoot them I suppose.

I know Gary wouldn't do this, but my husband would stick the
Havahart trap with the possum still in it into a big container
of water. He'd rather shoot it with his .22 (which would be quicker
and thus more humane, but doesn't want to risk skipping a round off
into the neighborhood behind us.

We have laws about shooting in built up areas. Do you have that or was it
his preference?

Our goal was to catch a groundhog. I don't want one of those in
my yard, they can do a number on your pool.

Did not expect to find a possum. I was afraid to open the
thing to let it out, would it attack me? I have a horror of
having to get rabies shots. Then it was in a sunny spot and it
was hot so I wanted to cover it.

It was a mess. And I learned that they aren't always shy.

100% I know it was just scared. And scared animals (or people)
can be very dangerous. But I wasn't thinking I hate possums or
anything, I was just afraid of how aggressive it was.

I haven't noticed that possums do anything that would
make me want to kill them. I know they're out there but I
don't see them.

I had a rabid skunk years ago. The cop that came was debating
whether to shoot it or not, but was afraid of the bullet hitting
the neighbor's house. The poor thing was so thin, I don't think
its body would have stopped a bullet.

He was finally able to roust the animal control guy from wherever
he was hiding and they used my cat carrying case to take it away.
They said I could pick up the case if I wanted it back. I said thanks,
it's all yours.

Both, actually. He probably could get off a single shot without

I am reminded of my wife's long time friend who told me about finding a
dead opossum in their patio and waiting for her husband to get home
from work to dispose of the carcass, but when he got home the deceased
had departed. She thought a neighbourhood dog had run off with it. She
didn't believe me when I suggested that it was "playing opossum", that
it had not really been dead.

Opossums were all but unheard of around here until about 40 years ago.
One scared the bejeepers out of me when I opened up the barn after it
had been closed up all winter. I slid the door open and say the biggest
damned rat ever and if it had been a rat and was still alive it could
have jumped up and bit my head off. As it turned out. It was a dead
opossum.

I have only seen two live opossums here. It was rooting around under the
bird feeder and it put on a pretty good show when I approached it. The
second one was crossing the road while I was on my way home late one
night. The road was covered with fresh snow. I braked to let him cross.
He made it to the other lane. Unfortunately, when I hit the brakes the
back end of my pickup swung to the left. I missed him with the front
tires, but the back tire got him. I do see a lot of opossum road kill.

It is a small target, and after they kill it they have to dispose of the
carcass.
We had a bit of a horror story over a rabid animal last winter. Somebody
had called about a rabid coyote. The cop car came along and saw the
coyote and hit it with his cruiser. Then he got out and shot the
disabled animal. I can see two sides to it. Yes, it sounds like a cruel
and heartless way to put down a dangerous animal. OTOH, there was the
risk of a reportedly rabid coyote escaping into the neighbourhood. I
find it difficult to fault the cop for making a quick decision to remove
a thread to the community. Unfortunately, it turned out that the animal
that was struck and then shot was not a coyote. It was a very old, blind
dog that looked like a coyote and who had wandered away from the owner's
property.

Are you sure? (laugh) Was it there the next day?

I have a funny memory that is kind of a visual, but picture it.
My dog was barking after I'd let her out at night. I don't let my
dog just bark so I went to see what's up. On the fence was a
possum, frozen still with two legs in the air. I guess we startled
it when I let the dog out. It was so funny. I brought the dog in
and kept checking back. Their muscles must freeze, it stayed in that
position for a long time. Like it was walking along the top of the
fence and was hit by a freeze ray.

I rarely see them run over. It's raccoons here, and lots of deer.
Oposums are so slow, don't cross the road!

There is lots of racoon road kill here. The speed limit on our road
used to be higher and there used to be quite a few deer hit. There are
still lots of them hit along the highway. One problem is that deer tend
to travel in groups and drivers may see one crossing and think it is
safe to proceed and then they hit the next one crossing. They can really
do a number on a car. I know several people who totalled their cars
hitting deer. One guy did it twice.

With properly covered trash cans critters can't get in.

Critters are always there, they just don't want to be seen.

Critters call to all their buddies, even tell them the menu.
Birds have excellent telescopic vision, they constantly scan for
food... you won't see them up in the tree tops but they will see you.
As soon as I toss out birdseed dozens of birds arrive instantly, and
ground critters watch and listen for the birds chattering and arrive
seconds later. There are dozens of crows in the tree tops a 1/4 mile
away, all I need do is open the sliders to my deck and they are there
on the ground looking at me... I have them well trained... they have
me well trained too. The crows get all the dried canned cat food
leavings, I soak the bowls to loosen the food and toss it out for the
crows, not a speck gets wasted. Crows eat everything, especially
carrion, they're first on the scene to clean up roadkill.

Oh dear lord. Are you kidding me? You catch it in an animal friendly
trap but then drown it? How unfriendly is that? I suppose that saves him
some gasoline money though. Use that for the lawnmower.

Imagine if that was a mother possum out to find food for her babies.
I've seen them in my yards in the past. I just leave them alone. Why
kill them?

At the very least why not do a catch and release? That *IS* the purpose
of those traps. You certainly must have some forest areas somewhere near
you where he could do that.

Death from drowning is fairly quick but google it and see what a victim
goes through. It's actually one of worst kinds of death from what I've
read. Google about opossums too and read how they are so mild and meek.
One in your yard might be an annoyance but certainly no threat. Let it
share your land.

Both of you be thankful that YOU aren't possums. geez.
You were just baiting me, weren't you. Ok...you won. I gave you the
emotional response.

That's your only concern with this story? ;o
In many usain states, call the game wardens when you catch a wild animal
in a Havahart trap. They will come pick it up, drive it out somewhere
and release it and even return your trap.

Top of the food chain animals kill for food and survival. Humans are
also top of the food chain animals in many cases but only WE kill for
sport or just because some other animal annoys us. How dare we? We
really aren't "all that." Hunt for food but let the other animals live.

it is not true that there are no animals other than humans that kill for
sport.

Or drive it out yourself, since where I am they say you can't relocate the
animal and they won't either. You live in an apartment Gary, so I doubt that
squirrels in your attic doing damage, or raccoons and possum under the house
doing damage isn't a huge worry to you since you wouldn't be paying for the
pest damage or control. BTW, Ophelia didn't write the first post above,
Cheryl did.

That's your only concern with this story? ;o
In many usain states, call the game wardens when you catch a wild animal
in a Havahart trap. They will come pick it up, drive it out somewhere
and release it and even return your trap.

Top of the food chain animals kill for food and survival. Humans are
also top of the food chain animals in many cases but only WE kill for
sport or just because some other animal annoys us. How dare we? We
really aren't "all that." Hunt for food but let the other animals live.

We shoot rabbits for pest control on a farm. They wreck the crops.
