barryb 2,062 Report post Posted July 2, 2017 Here we go again with the do-gooder nutters, these loons will have us eating carrots and mung beans in 5 years if we are not careful. Far too much air time is given to extreme nutters, the problem with them is they provide no solutions, they just want to ban everything. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/94301098/animal-welfare-complaint-laid-after-possum-joeys-drowned-at-school-fundraising-event gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
globederby12 1,495 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 One has to laugh at this. Apparently D.O.C suggest humanely putting them down by Shooting, Poisoning, and wait for it. Hitting them on the head !! Throw away the buckets of water boys and girls , grab your hammers. All together now, whack ,whack, and mind the splatter, Peter Jackson may want to make a movie of it. As Charles Schulz would have said in his Peanuts cartoons. GOOD GRIEF. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy86 2,683 Report post Posted July 3, 2017 Joeys are not viable possums, they are really just embryos! The mothers were dead so the embryos were never going to survive. Once they leave the pouch and get on their mothers backs they are 'kittens" and thus viable infants. Yes DOC?/ MPI? whoever? recommends dispatching them with blunt force trauma! Very tasty!
