Let's face it, money is tight for our public schools and if there is a chance to rake in some dough through a fundraiser, they should do it.
But sometimes the old-fashioned bake sale isn't going to render a pocketful of coin for new books and supplies, so why not think outside of the box for once...perhaps with a "Dress Up a Dead Possum Day" like New Zealand youngsters did at the Uruti School in northern New Zealand (of course they were raising money for charity, but we can be a bit selfish here right?) and auction off the animals.
Now, before you get all up in arms over dead animals being dressed in various clothes at the whim of school children, you need to understand something about the possums of New Zealand. They are not native to the island and have wrecked havoc upon the land killing things that were once plentiful, so the Kiwis fucking hate them and when a dead one is spotted they rejoice.
This might not be something you approve of (and PETA is pretty pissed about it as well) but once you take a gander at how creative these kids were, you might start looking at roadkill a bit differently.
I know I'm looking forward to dressing up a few raccoons in superhero outfits.
