But we love our possums. They eat ticks, and are really very clean and friendly. My kids used to name them as they watched them on the front porch.

Arkansas classifies beaver, coyote, muskrat, nutria, opossum, raccoon, squirrel, striped skunk, and nongame wildlife other than migratory birds, bats, and endangered species as nuisance wildlife. They can be trapped and released outside city limits anytime. Gives the property owner a Do-It-Yourself Nuisance Wildlife Solution.
What's really disturbing Is a state law that says it's illegal to kill native snakes, including venomous snakes, unless they pose a threat to people or property.
