Yeah I've never heard of that either possum. No need to bash anyone over it. While yes, it undoubtedly stresses animals to be chased/captured, I highly doubt it results in extreme health issues or even their death. Animals are extremely resilient, how else would wild animal rescues be able to rehab not only captured but injured animals? Shouldn't they just die of fear? There would be a lot of dead animals just laying around if that were the case.

Deer chased by snowmobilers may end up dying...maybe...if the snowmobilers ran them until complete exhaustion.
