Then why have I been called back to this woman's house for the same reason?
The PanelLift garage door installed at her house has a raising mechanism in the form of a fine steel cable rotating around a drum. The rear of her garage is not sealed and so Common Brushtail Possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) use the garage as a daytime sleeping area. The ideal place to sleep is on top of the brick pillars adjacent to the lifting mechanism.
On August 29 2004 I was called to extract a female possum and her joey from the mechanism.
The result was a crushed hind leg on the female and the amputation of the tip of the tail on the baby.
Mum was euthanased and the joey raised, and being able to cope with the loss of the tail tip, was ultimately released.
At the time the resident of the house agreed to have her son (the landlord) install some simple lengths of timber to exclude the possums from the garage so this would not happen again. I love animals, she said.
Obviously her love was short term as no exluding had been undertaken and this time a small just out of pouch joey had both back legs crushed by the mechanism.
If you love animals lady ..... PROVE IT!
