Well, I've spent thousands of hours raising orphaned possums whose mothers have been shot by ferals and hit by scum in cars..., often for fun, no less! Makes me seethe that people can be so thoughtless, arrogant and bloody cruel.
Possums are amazing creatures on their own turf and are part of our living heritage. They can also be incredibly affectionate and funny until they get to the release age. Frankly, I'd choose to save a possum over most humans I know.
