my experience with killing a possum

strange_one · 02-10-2004, 11:35 AM

hang on I remember something worth posting about.

tonight as I was just driving off from bianca's I felt a bump, and so I stopped to check what I'd hit, and there's this little possum on the road thrashing about like a fish with ebola, spraying blood from its little nose. finally it stopped and died in the gutter, and bianca was getting slightly upset, so I told her to go inside. then I went home quickly and came back with rubber gloves and a garbage bag, which I put the corpse in. I took it home with me and then across the road from my house is heaps of bushes and shit (right next to train tracks), so I took it over there and dumped it in some tall grass, minus the plastic bag of course. I said sorry to the unfortunate creature while it was starting to rain, and its bloodied, matted fur started to shine as it became wet

great huh?

That's gross.

I hit a possum once. The little fucker ran like lightning in front of my car, I was going about 55 so I couldn't swerve or anything. It felt like I had run over a pile of bricks. I was so upset I started crying, and I wouldn't get out of the car until my boyfriend assured me that there were no guts on the front of my car.

It was traumatizing.

I'm confused. I thought you left.

But, on topic, I saw a squirrel get hit once. Blood everywhere. Nasty as hell. I've never hit anything, though.

Ok.. so a number of years ago, I was at my mom's house when she heard something in the garage. My friend and I went in there and we saw the biggest damned opossum you could imagine. He had crawled into a box in the corner and wouldn't come out. Putting food out didn't help, nor did scaring him. I told her I could catch him in a sack or whack him with a baseball bat and just be done with it, but she wanted to call Animal Control because it's "humane."
So we call Animal Control (even though they charge $60) and an hour later some yokel in a pickup truck comes out. He's got a cage, and a pole with a rope on it. He grabs the opossum and pulls it into the street while it struggles. My mom goes into the house to get him a check. He then proceeds to tell us that there's nothing you can do with an opossum, and just as my mom is walking towards the truck, he pulls out a plumber's wrench and proceeds to whack open the skull of the animal right there in the street. My mom was horrified. I was pissed, because we're spending $60 for someone to whack it in the head with a wrench. He pushes the body into the cage and puts it in the truck for "disposal." I mean, couldn't he have taken it away alive and whacked it later? Shit, I could have done what he did with the bat...

I once killed a cat... he was running in the street while I was driving. I tried to brake but It ended braking on he.

I felt so bad

One time I killed a possum, I got out of my car, called it stupid and said "That's what you get fucking possum" it was dead, because I'd killed it.

OH YEAH.

In burlingame people go possum smashing with bats.

Some local kids took a mouse we caught in my garage out for disposal with a golf club. I feel like such a dick now.

I was also once playing with my gerbile when it fell from my hands as I was kneeling and it ended up underneath my knee. It didn't squish, though. The other one ran away before I could haphazardly murder it.

I also know someone who hunted their cat with a gun and hit it ten times in the span of 7 seconds before it stopped moving.

My return key is stuck.
