Isn't it ironic?

What is the most ironic situation for a kiwi vet working in Australia? Having to treat a POSSUM, which is a loathed pest in NZ but a protected native in Aussie, for...wait for it...ratbait poisoning. I'm used to treating dogs and cats that have been accidentally poisoned by bait laid out for the possums, so this was a new one. And all my research looking for dose rates of Vitamin K for treatment (whatever did vets do before Google search?) just led me to sites advertising the best products for killing the animal I was supposed to be saving.

Only in Australia.
