More from the website

Following off from the last post I was reading more of the website and it said that used 'possum control' and killed all the possums and that was why the tree was healthy again.
Once again I say this is a childrens website! now you are promoting killing the possums!
and then even further on it talks about baiting and trapping to get rid of the possums!
It clearly states that it wants to kill the possums!
baiting and trapping!
Could they not have said something like 'unfortunately the possums had to be moved'
Think about it like this, mice, people often think of them as vermin (I disagree) but they are often adored household pets. I am not saying that possums should be kept as pets, I am saying that they are not verin, they are beautiful living, breathing creatures.
Please if you convince people to think of them this way it will make a difference.

This I found outrageous

I was searching on the internet for things to put up about possums and what has been happening when I came across a website (supposed to be a wildlife conservation website for kids) when I came across this:

The website blamed possums for this tree turning from green to gray.
Yes possums can damage trees overtime but not such a drastic effects.
There are two other things I can think of that could have done this:
1.Winter
2.Photoshop

Neither I can assure you of but I still found this very aggitating.
They had a whole artical called 'Possums' and as a subtitle 'Pesky pests'
This was a childrens website! Young children looking at this website may be turned off possums for hurting the environment. If you think possums are hurting the environment then you should go and look in the mirror. The amount of pollution humans have created from machines that WE made, will kill many more trees than possums ever have. We kill more trees from all the paper we make. If you want to have a go at someone for killing trees, have a go at the human race for all the deforestation, the slashing and burning of trees. I know I am being very hippocritcal just by using this laptop to type this post, but yes I can understand that possums have hurt trees but a tree is a possums home and we have taken giant slabs of trees away from animals just for paper, or building houses but don't blame it on the little people who are just trying to live and stay in their home.
