You can catch a possum every night with a live trap.  Then you feed them 
sweett potaoes (only) for several weeks.  It is their nature to be filthy 
animals.  The sweet potaoe regimen cleanes their flesh and innards and such.  
Then, you have a meal.  Yum.  (tell me how it tastes.  I've caught many, but 
always traded possums and coons for rabbits, never actually tasted possum, 
myself)
