The Great Possum Debate

Live and let live or get rid of it?

The Issue

Australians are apparently divided in the issue of the Possum Invasion.  Some love them and some hate them.  And some just do not know which side they are on while others are just nonchalant.  But it is of significant importance because obviously State Councils and the government have taken the time to create policies that ensure that wildlife encounters are handled humanely. 

Urban Proliferation of the Possums

Recent reports and observations have indicated that the possums of Australia have indeed grown accustomed to the urban setting.  And the occurrence of possums in roof, yards, garages and even living rooms have increased.  For some, especially those who consider them as pests, this is bad news.  But what this really means is that there are not enough trees out in the wild for them, that our population and our progress for urbanization has brought about  a negative impact in their natural habitat.

Possums: pests or pets?

So, it makes sense to say that we gave the possums reason to seek shelter in our roof.  And our opinion on whether possums are pests like rats or pets like cats is utterly immaterial.  We are responsible so we should take responsibility.  Like everything that we do, which may seem miniscule and irrelevant, it greatly impacts our world.  The possum is as part of nature as we are and it needs to be dealt with as if they are.
