Won’t Eat Possum.

Published in the Waukegan Daily Sun, Waukegan, Illinois on Monday, November 13, 1905

     A human being is a queer animal after all. We eat possums and pay fancy prices for them, yet a vulture will not touch one. During a long season of snow years ago a farmer said the buzzards in his locality were almost starved, and to rest the matter he killed a possum and put it out where it could be easily found. The vultures would not touch it, though they examined the carcass. Not satisfied, the farmer cooked another possum up brown and spread it out, but the buzzards declined the feast.-Greensboro [Tenn.] Record.
