Rubbish
Kangaroos are vermin and shot in large numbers for the damage they
cause and disease they carry, they are parasite infested and a serious
health risk to humans.
It is comon knowledge a roo shooter needs to disinfect his gear that
has come intpo contact with Roos.
They have no mating season and mate all year round, the male detects
the hormone levels by taking a shower on the face under the urinating
female, he does this for the whole gang till he finds a ripe one.
Not only are the ridden with things that are not kind to humans they
are bloody dangerous.
Ask the US tourist less one testicle from a tame one in a wildlife
park some time back how he feels about cute and cuddly furry aussie
critters.

You people who would have these creatures scurrying around in the
middle of inhabited suburbia are in utter la la land and need a
serious reality check.

now the possum in new zealand is the possum introduced from here,
there it is a pest and a ferrel so it is not protected and under those
conditions should be culled or eliminated like we would like to do
with the many ferel species that inhabit australia.

And you dont even consider why the are a pest in NZ, they dont drop in
to your house to use the bathroom to wash theire paws before dinner,
they drop into your house to **** on it and shit on it which will all
wash down on your belongings inivitably leaving your house smelling
like some mad old woman with 40 cats.


and of course we humans can possum proof our homes

Simply erdicate large number of possums for suburbia and limit them to
the bush and there is more bush in this country thasn inhabuited land
by a large percentage.
We dont have to have them eveywhere, nor in every suburban back yard,
they are vermin no different to the Kangaroo.

or at the very
least make it harder for them to have much of an impact. if you can
identify the route the possum takes to get onto your house then close
that route off you will have gone most of the way to solving your
problem i would presume.


That is crap.
You would have to fence of the entire perimeter of the property to
stop them dropping in and that is just utter nonsense
We have a rabbit fence in the bush, we dont need a flamin possum fence
around every house in suburbia.

give it a go

Utter nonsense.
