**What is the reason for Opossum hunting?**  The reason for opossum hunting is to save the native bush that possums destroy. It has advantages and disadvantages as discribed on the The Debate page. Some say its just for fun but there is a reason. opossums were introduced to New Zealand from Australia but they breeded too fast. Now there is a nation wide opossum problem going on. Men are fighting possums with traps, bullets, dogs and poison. Opossums are fighting back by breeding fast and killing trees, kiwis and other native creatures. Still, with all of mans weapons, we are still losing.
