For most of the past 20 years, a live animal has been used in a small North Carolina town's annual New Year's Eve Possum Drop. But this year, following challenges from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the organizer says he'll no longer use a live opossum — instead, it'll be a road-kill opossum or perhaps a pot of opossum stew.
The Brasstown event involves enclosing an opossum in a tinsel-covered plastic box and lowering it to the ground at midnight, then releasing the animal.
PETA says the lights, noise and crowd can harm an opossum's nerves and health...

You can't even drop a possum anymore.
I need to find a PETA-free place...maybe Amarillo.
There I could conduct the annual Amarillo Armadillo Drop.
"I wanna go home with the armadillo
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen"
A good lookin' woman, country music and the world's first armadillo drop...who could ask for anything more?

I'm not sure what suspending and dropping a scared possum has to do with New Year's Eve anyway. It's not like PETA is asking people not to drink champagne, do a countdown, or make a resolution. Geez, just leave the poor little possum alone.
I have, from firsthand sources, the possums and armadillos themselves, that they would be delighted to be involved in a New Years Possum and/or Armadillo Drop. My place is plagued with possums and armadillos and rather than shoot or poison them I've become one with them. We frolic in the yard, dig for worms 'n' grubs and sit and have long conversations about the absurdity of tree huggin' greenies and PETA wanting to deprive them of America's holiday frivolities. Geesh folks, give 'em a break. Walk a mile in their paws. Sign me...the Varmint Whisperer.

What a clever idea to drop possums and armadillos. This should satisfy the greens. Memet, next time I'm in Istanbul I'll drop by for a quote.
Wow, what a web crawler...to pick up a group conversation about possum drops and try to sell power lifts in Turkey.
