It is a fact that the exotic introduced species of Australian Brushtail Possum is a major ecological threat in New Zealand. Rats and stoats are also major introduced predators in the New Zealand bush.

Many anti-fur people will argue that by allowing a fur trade to exist, you are by default making sure that the possum will never be eradicated in New Zealand. Here is what we think...

When our colonial New Zealand fore-fathers introduced possums to New Zealand, they had no idea of the terrible impact that possums would have on the delicate natural balance of the native New Zealand eco-system.

Other than both being marsupials, the Australian Brushtail Possum and the North American Opossum are very difference from each other. They are not even the same species, genus, subfamily, family or order from a scientific classification perspective.
