Brush-tailed Possums were brought from Australia to help start a fur industry. Possums still strip our native forests, ferrets and stoats and possums still devastate our native birds.

It was right on the curb and I was concerned about it getting run over. My son and I put it in a box and took it to a ditch area behind our house. We took positive action.

Even wiping out one species, like possums, or stoats, or hedgehogs is probably beyond current methods. Even wiping out a majority of mammals from the third biggest island is a challenge, and not just logistically.
