We are only allowed to keep a possum if your regional council allows it or you are researching how to kill it. Baby possums are dying because of hunger and this is because hunters are ripping baby possums out of there mother pouch and the soft root of their mouth is damaged. There are strict criteria around breeding possums According to Greater Wellington Regional Council, possums can be kept as pets, but cannot be released, bred or sold.

people bring them to new Zealand to start a fur trade. Possums are pests because they eat native birds food and the native birds and they also eat thing like leaves, flowers, leaf buds, fruit, eggs, birds, insects and snails. In 1981 possums skin had been exported 3.2 million
