    They are definitely ‘under-mis-stood’. And some people don’t like bees because they can sting.

    Nope. It’s because they look very much like really large rats. I agree possums are pretty cool critters and can be very cuddly and sweet. Been around them enough to know. But it is inherent that people react to rats, the larger the rat the more the reaction and possums can’t help that they look like rats.And yes, Rats can also be sweet and cuddly. But rat crop/food destruction and disease-carrying has also caused more human death and suffering than any other animal.

    The Washington Post Kid’s Page did an article on the greatness of possums. Too bad people still aim for them in their deadly SUVs.
