run a small wildlife rehab facility.
6 adult opossums under care currently, 2 female
4am panty raid into girls housing (thanks to a fuck up on my end)
Chaos in the kitchen/ sleeping quarters
Shit and food everywhere
screaming opossums pulling each others hair and biting whatever they can grab
scrambling on hands & knees to separate them all
take 2hrs to clean up, wash the animals, check for new injuries etc.
Now I don't care about any of the work
No qualms about being scratched or bitten.
I'm not even bothered anymore by the gross-out jobs like cleaning raw liver and shit splatters
I'm just trying to get past how many times my forearms got humped to completion during all of that.
I feel dirty
Pic related- the sweet face of chaos and uninvited arm-fucking

I once saw an opossum eating a roadkill skunk on the side of the road. dirtiest animal in the world as far as i'm concerned. why would you waste resources rehabing these?

Your preferences and opinions are irrelevant to this profession.
Self-important little cunt that you are lol
'Only save the cute ones'
Hilarious

Interesting.
What are you going to do about all the pregnancies that inevitably began that night? And did the opossums actually ejaculate on your arm?

There won't be much I can do other than provide a home for the knocked up female & her joeys
My mistake, my responsibility.
They are not bad to live with as far as wild animals are concerned
and it's not as if this would be the first bit of work I've taken home.
They're pleasant like nervous but affectionate cats
I have the space plus an empty aviary thankfully
Yes.
There was possum ejaculate on my arm It was as unpleasant as it was surprising.
Holding back a struggling animal one minute and the next minute he has jizzed.

He's only got like 2 years to find a mate and spooge in her pouch or he's roadkill.

They are good for the environment and don't carry as much of the risk of diseases most mammals do in the wild. We need organisms that help dispose of carcasses. Animals that scavenge on dead bodies are very resilient.

It pretty late outside their breeding season. If they are indoors they might let their joeys grow but opossums usually have their last litters in July.

Where you at? I'll take one of those opossum babies
>>2462649
it sucks because they only live for like 2 years so all this effort literally dies in two years
props to you though I appreciate you taking care of them
>>2463164
sorry I can't give them to you.... some of the rehabs are used for meat and we make patties and cook them for the homeless in the city... otherwise I would love to offload one or more to you

I ever understood this. I heard roadkill deer is sometimes used for soup kitchens. But opossums and raccoons? Do they know what they are eating is not beef and pork or is it just ground up mystery meat? Does the FDA not have any sort of regulations for feeding homeless people?
I mean, I'd eat it. I've eaten roadkill before. Just curious.

You're in luck though. I am homeless and need a companion animal. You could cut out the middle man and give the opossum straight to me. I'll eat him when he dies.
