Possums

Why are Possums a pest ?Possums are pests to new Zealand because*they eat native birds eggs.*They eat trees.*They eat native birds offspring.*They lower the number of native trees and birds.Possums are pests to New Zealand because when native trees are trying to grow, possums eat the new growths on trees which makes it hard for the trees to grow new leaves.

What is 10801080 is a pestiside used for killing rats, stoats, weasels and possums. 1080 is a plant toxin that will be used as a defence weapon. 1080 , was first used around 1944 in the united states.

Safest way to get rid of possums right now1080 is currently the safest way to kill possums, stoats and rats etc. The government allows 1080 to be used because it is a good way to kill possums but it does also kills dogs and cats if they get to close.

Do you think we should use 1080/why or why notWe think we should not use 1080 because it not only kills possums, stoats etc it also can kill our pets like cats and dogs. Animals are important to some people so knowing that your pet was killed by 1080 is not something you would want to hear.

What we think people should do to get rid of possums without hurting or killing other animalsWe think you should catch lots of possums in live capture traps then release them in a confined space and place 1080 all over the floor so the possums cant escape and they would most likely eat the 1080.
