Henry RoeI’m beginning to think this pair of possums is mocking me. I’m about ready to start ordering anything and everything that Acme will sell me. Tricky little [redacted]s. #predatorfree2050 #predatorfreeaotearoa

Argh. Just saw two possums in the pine tree in the shared driveway. I’ve had my suspicions for a while one or more might be there. Need to find someone to come trap. #Otautahi #Christchurch #predatorfree2050 #predatorfreeaotearoa

🇳🇿@vik yup. That's why I advocate far less potentially devastating tools, like those being developed - openly, in the digital Commons! - by https://cacophony.org.nz - we can achieve both #PredatorFree2050 and avoid opening pandora's CRISPR box. #PrecautionaryPrinciple #FTW #FTPlanet
