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."
I've never seen a gator shot -- what kind of gun do you use on them to ensure a quick and clean kill? Do you really use a varmint gun (when I hear that I think of the Mini-14 and .223) or something with a little more power behind it?
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Wow, tons of anti-second amendment idiots in this thread. Way to waste those mod points!
Right, because firing a gun is the answer to every problem in every situation in ever environment and anyone who says differently is trying to take your gun rights away from you.
