Roughly 400-450grams of meat per rabbit
Roughly 500-550grams of meat per possum
Reliable resources say that possums are less likely to be easy to kill/capture/collect than rabbits.
DOC will not allow you to shoot possums on DOC property at night which is when possums are easier to hunt.
Rabbits are reasonably easy to shoot/kill/capture using spotlights in orchards, farms, paddocks that are privately owned.
Because they are pests and are, for some, hard to get rid of, farm owners etc may be happy to hire people to sort them out. ie. us
Meat from a rabbit is more gamey and nutritious than meat from a possum.
Humans actually eat and enjoy rabbits, so there's a sense of human grade here.
Not many people know what possums are like to eat, so why would they give it to their pets?
