Bob, it appears you mum was wise and you clearly did not understand me. That's fine, I'll move the dots a bit closer and put numbers on them for you...

Oh, What a feeling,! Bob

The innuendo you clearly missed in my post Bob was if you like the feeling of something like that, this thread was not really a place to post about it.

No my post started because i have gotten myself in a bit of poo

Opossum in the roof, so a kiwis natural reaction was to deal with the problem.

apparently this is not the way things are done here.
with out thinking, i assumed what is a pest there is a pest here.

would not have been a problem if i did not skin them

I'm fairly certain that as a Kiwi living in Australia you probably knew darn well it was illegal to kill and skin the native wildlife, and yes it still would have been a problem had you not skinned it - it just would have been slightly harder to prove.

I get that possums are a pest in NZ and am not against the culling that is done there because that is what you need to do to protect your own native wildlife... just as here in Australia we protect ours - usually by not killing and skinning them. I understand that you have grown in a country that hates possums and see's them as pests, but over here they are not causing the damage they are causing there because they fit into our ecosystem.

PS my other half is a Kiwi that has also spent many baiting and skinning possums but it's not his 'natural reaction' to kill ones that we come across here in Australia.

We have laws here. As a guest in our country You dont have to like or understand them. Just follow them.

I think it is time we stopped this childish tit for tat , and agreed to disagree. I would rather talk to members here with humour , than not. I don't know how to shake hands on the internet , but cousin, you are ok by me. And, I love your country. Bob

WHAT, and that is the point of my original post is to point out to other Kiwis, ( not winging aussies) that in Australia a possum is a native and not to assume without thinking like i did.

no one had to prove anything, i said of course what’s the big deal? why haven't you said thankyou?? then it was pointed out that a possum was a native, OHH click
but the officers tried the stew and liked it.

Now you do not know me i do not know you, and as such your assumption that i would surly know is bollocks, inflammatory and just plain out of order not to mention wrong, so what sort of person does that make you???

Well if your husband spent time Baiting, then he would not be skinning, since the bounty came off at about the same time as traps ( gin, jaw types) were banned. also at the same time as the police made it known that it was no long OK for a 10 year old kid to tab though the bush with a .22 in his fathers ( or family members) name.

But having said that I am sure your Kiwi man is able to post for himself, well unless Karhore Mana !! Taihoa

Ok, explain what was not funny about it. Or is it you do not have a sense of humour. Remind me, Bob
