What exactly do people have against possums? I've never seen one.
I just saw one two nights ago. They're just what many people would call "ugly," look dirty, and they get into trash and whatnot. I'm my experience, they're less aggressive than racoons, so I don't mind them. Really, people should properly secure their trash anyhow.
Some people think they are so ugly they are cute. However, when you suddenly surprise one on a dark path in the middle of the night, they are less cute and more nightmare fuel. The "recently revived road kill" look they usually sport, along with the teeth and the hissing, and the raised claws (very much all a defensive posture, but try telling that to the shit in my pants) don't do much to endear them to people that live around them.
They’re too fucking adorable and won’t attack humans. How DARE they?!
