Opossums were here long before any of us were... We make it NICE for them to come in to our barns by leaving stuff lying around, dog food, cat food, horse feed, etc.
In general, a barn with a lot of people going in and out, a radio, a dog, Opossums will stay away from.
I understand the horrors EPM, I really do, but killing it just isnt the answer in my eyes. Relocate sure, at least you are giving it a chance.
farmpony, I'm with you, I cant even kill a cockroach, I sipmly cover them with bowls and let Hubby deal with it when he gets home, course the cats have usually "played" with them for a while before I found it, so they are on the verge of death with missing legs and stuff anyways.
We are all on this Earth for some reason or another (course I see no use in Cockroaches, and I ask God "WHY!?!" everytime I see one) and I think we all should get a fair chance at it.
Which is a little hypocritical of me since I eat meat, but then again, I do my hunting in Publix... But I dont see the need in killing an Oppossum, unless of course you WANT to eat him, which down here in the south is very relevant. I guess what I mean is... dont kill Needlessly?
Besides, kill this one, and there are only 4million more waiting to take his/her place.
