'War' on poisonous Australia Toad

[FrogFreak]

How massive IS the cane toad population in Austrailia?!Man...with all those toads being killed...there has GOT to be a good use for them! :/

Their use for them is to turn them into fertilizer...

That is one of the better ideas they've had for eliminating Cane Toads. It's about time they did something about their burgeoning population. Just my opinion.

It's a shame that Australia won't allow the export of wildlife, they could gather them up for the pet trade. I know that they are a pest species in that country, but people put them there, and maybe they could do something other than killing them. I could maybe buy a large warehouse and start up something like "Adopt a Cane Toad Ranch". I'm sorry, I do like them, and they do have a lot of personality. I have mixed feelings on this issue of B. marinus in Australia. Just my 2 cents folks.

They are an invasive species in Australia and else where. They can't be aloud to take over as they are helping to drive native species to extinction. Australia has lost at least seven frog species to extinction since 1979 and more are on the path to extinction. Chytrid has played a big part in this, but so has the so-called cane toad.

The presence of these unwanted toads has also put many of other animal species in danger as well. They have to go in order to protect and preserve the native Australian species.

Just to send the point home here is a picture of a critcally endangered native Australian frog, Pseudophryne corroboree
