Fairly sure its highly illegal to release possums into the wild, as this police officer seems to have done

Illegal? Where do they live, if it's not in the wild?




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I don’t think so - any possums I’ve come up against couldn’t cook for nuts. 😀




Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

It doesn't live. It gets 'dispatched'.

 

It's disappointing that Animal Control wouldn't do anything. Surely that is their bread and butter?

The only good possums are either dead or in Australia.
