Can you eat them raw? Don't yell at me for being misinformed but is it true they may have rabies or other diseases? I'm just not sure.

Ewww.... They live in civilization eating our garbage. Why would you want to? -v

Not the city sewer ones but the ones in the wild , a lot of people eat the wild ones but i'm curious. Could be a new food I can add to my diet :D

If you intend to eat a carnivore, be cautious.
From Going Feral: (http://goingferal.wordpress.com/2009/11/15/parasites-those-who-inhabit-us/)
Still, there are parasites that the indigenous people of this land would get very sick from. Like, say, trichinosis – a parasite that inhabits the flesh (skeletal muscle tissue, specifically) of omnivores (bear, raccoon, seal, cat etc..), sometimes fatal to humans when ingested, hence warnings to always cook the meat of such creatures very well, while the meat of herbivores is commonly eaten rare or raw totally safely.

Unfortunately in the US, the "wild" is often not far from centers of civilization. :P

Yep yep, like desert areas, or a little forest, etc free of sewage, shit, and human messups =)

Found now, a stabbed? Possum. Clinging to life. What should I do with it? More likely a dog mauled it.
Should I eat it? Heal it with a vet? I'm singing so far reviving it that way.

you can offer it some raw food and a dark warm place with access to water, or if it looks like it's too far gone to help, then it wouldn't be wrong to end it's suffering.
I wouldn't eat it unless you live out in the middle of nowhere and you're sure it hasn't been feeding on refuse.

It looked healthy otherwise, nice coat of fur, clean etc. I found it in a puddle, wasn' t breathing. There are woods all around, not thick woods, but thick enough. When I got it breathing (belaboredly) and moving a little, it picked its head up and drank a few times, blowing bubbles in the warer with its nose. It was in a well fenced small area, but it then bit by bit inched itself to the fence, under the fence, and across the field towards the trees. I offered it raw chicken and highmeat in the meantime, but I could tell although it appreciated some attention, it just wanted a quiet place, perhaps to die. I had to go. My son who I talk here about watched. It crept start stop and left. There were dogs barking maybe fifty yards away. I think it may have been them who bit him.
