Opossums Overrun Brooklyn, Fail To Eliminate Rats
__roo writes "In a bizarre case of life imitates the Simpsons, New York City officials introduced a population of opossums into Brooklyn parks and under the boardwalk at Coney Island, apparently convinced that the opossums would eat all of the rats in the borough and then conveniently die of starvation. Several years later, the opossums have not only failed to eliminate the rat epidemic from New York City, but they have thrived, turning into a sharp-toothed, foul-odored epidemic of their own."
At least the ignorant rednecks don't need to worry about being helpless if a rabid wild animal decides to invade their homes.
No, instead we need to worry about cowardly child-men like you firing a gun in a residential area to take care of an opossum. Trust me, a stick and some cord is all you need, although they do hiss like the devil himself.
"Then in winter the cold will kill the gorillas. Problem solved!"
That depends on the availability of Section 8 housing...
"This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
Why is the asshole who keeps throwing out insults ("cowardly child-men", "ignorant rednecks") not being modded down?
BTW, I hope you get rabies. Beating an animal to death with a stick is far more cruel than shooting it.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
