I know ... it's the environmentally friendly replacement for 1080 poison. New 1090. Possums eat it and after a short time their tails fly off off making impossible to maintain their balance in trees thus falling out and killing themselves.

Curiouser and curiouser.

To have these distributed so widely, and in the numbers I saw, there must have been thousands of them. Like Sandra Coney's comment.

Might explain why they are separate if that is still the case.

There used to be a bounty on them, not sure if it was nationwide or per borough, but in Northland it was paid out on the basis that you bought in the tip of the tail as proof. Of course, some people would cut the tip off and then cut a couple more "tips" off the same tail. So they changed it to ears, as in, a pair of.
