Not for the politically correct faction of society Dougie but a classic example of country folk thinking laterally about their need to raise funds and doing what all New Zealanders would have been quite comfortable with only fifty years ago. I have dispatched several possums around home this year so for a laugh I might get the next one permanently mounted on the bonnet of my car now that I have seen this article (he says with tongue very much in cheek). A quick drive down Queen Street should get some of the over politically corrected tongues wagging.

As to the bunny huggers complaining that such an activity does not teach children to respect animals, that is a matter of perspective and a crock of crap in my opinion. Does that view then imply that a hunter that has a trophy mounted for display has no respect for the animal he took? I think not!
