PETA has finally succeeded in shutting down Brasstown’s only claim to fame – the annual Possum Drop. It was like the big apple lowered to celebrate New Year’s Day in New York. The battle was finally clinched on the grounds that the guy behind the event, Clay Logan, does not have a permit to hold possums captive and no authority will be recognized for granting a waiver.

To date, nobody has protested about another Brasstown tradition, its womanless beauty pageant. Hopefully, the victory for possums everywhere will embolden members of NOW to stand against the discrimination.
