A dead possum is a good possum.

Well it's a bit twisted. So your kid comes in after picking road kill up and playing with it? You'd think it was normal?
Pest or not, I'm not sure getting kids to mess with corpses is hygienic or creative. And what, skinning and decorating a possum is ok, but don't do it to the neighbours dog? They'd see the difference?
Weird if you ask me.

1292408 2012-08-03 02:34:00 People pick up roadkill possums and cook the hell out of them and eat them, normal? maybe to some it is, so some country folk (who are more down-to-earth than city folk) might think this is a bit of fun - and good on them. I hope its more supported next year and they get to raise even more funds (and kill more pigs and possums).
I also think most kids who were capible of skinning a possum would know the difference between a possum and a dog. - and if anyone has a dog thats as ugly as a possum, then it should be either dressed up or put down.

Why is it fun? I've skinned an eaten food animals too, so? I don't play with the corpses.

And it's not the possums fault it was imported by some idiot.
The most destructive animal on earth is humans. They cause more damage than everything else combined.

I think that might just border on necrophilia...
Having said that, were I a necromancer... :p
