NZEALAND-ANIMAL-HUNTING-POSSUM
TO GO WITH NZealand-animal-hunting-possum,FEATURE by Neil Sands
This image taken from video on April 2, 2012 shows possum trapper Stu Flett hanging out possum carcasses to dry in his garage at his home in Matapouri on New Zealand's North Island. The brushtail possum, a cuddly-looking marsupial protected in its native Australia, has become a reviled feral pest in New Zealand, its fur providing a lucrative sideline for hunters who supply a burgeoning luxury goods industry. The noctural marsupials were introduced in the 19th Century, quickly speading out of control to the point where officials estimate there are now 70 million of them, outnumbering the human population almost twenty-fold.
