BRASSTOWN, N.C. (AP) — A New Year's Eve possum drop that attracts thousands of people to a tiny western North Carolina town will go on this year, with one big change: It won't involve a live possum.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports Thursday that Brasstown will have the event Dec. 31 but with a different guest of honor.

During past drops, the possum was suspended in a see-through box covered with tinsel and lowered to the ground at midnight.
Last month, a judge ruled a state agency lacked authority to issue a permit for the drop. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had sued, calling the event illegal and cruel.
Clay Logan has been doing the drop for years. He says he's considering using a stuffed animal or maybe road kill this year.

I'm sure if they announce $20.00 fee for road kill, someone in town can hit one in time :thumbsup:

I have a opossum that lives outside. It is wild but loves it when I feed it tasty morsels like leftover turkey. She has hung out here for a couple years. She is currently with opossum. I guess they'll be born maybe February? I'll finally be a grandopossum! Nothing wrong with an opossum drop.

PETA is probably worried that the 3000 person event will include a Hair-Off Possum-Parts banquet...people will eat tasty animals...hair or no hair..

PETA is always having a cow at the mention of any animal...Hell, even President Obama is quoted as saying, “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? A pit bull is delicious.” :thumbsup:
