Story time! btw if you like opossums don't read this So my parents have a bucket which we put old fruit veggies ect and we use it as compost but sometimes we put it out side our glass sliding door and animals eat it sometimes so during winter a oppossum was eating an apple core on the pourch and my dad being the ratinoal man he is...Grabbed a baseball bat and it the opposom on the head multibal times until it fell of the pourch btw my back yard pourch is pretty high off the ground the poor fellow fell onto the snow and ran away And OF Couarse MY father called the little guy UGLY. But bright side he now says he feels bad about it and animals still come into our yard
