DWTK - Cane toads

[Desmo]

After reading this post, I thought it worthy of it's own thread.

Is this video amusing to you?



What are your views on the various methods of eradication used on the Cane toad?

[Wedge]

Guess it was an ugly topic after all.

[Gippo]

Found it difficult to participate in cane toad busting in Cairns, but they are what they are.

[D'Artagnan]

They have spinal cords therefore feel pain. Not their fault what they are. Stick 'em in the freezer and do it humanely IMHO.

[R_UFO]

Lick it to death

How many times have you posted that Jim? (although it is possible my memory has failed and it was someone else the last 3 times)

My response is still the same. If the numbers get as bad here as they are over there, everyone's going to need a couple of dedicated freezers to get the job done. If you are going down the humanitarian road with cane toads, there are a lot of roads you won't be driving down in Queensland for the simple reason that you can't do so without squashing a whole lot of toads. Fortunately the climate here should keep their numbers significantly lower.

When my dad was growing up around Burleigh Heads (south of Gold Coast), the preferred method was bludgeoning with whatever was lying around. My dad's weapon of choice was his 7-iron. Obviously the results of every man and his dog taking a less than serious swing were often akin to a drunken axe-man on execution day. However, I see nothing wrong with an accurate blow of sufficient force to ensure instant death.

Mind you, if the alternative is risking my dogs' lives, I will put a cane toad on the rack and torture it until the cows come home.

well hate me if you like but i think that video is hilarious!

Having lived in Queensland i know how much of a pest they really are. I dont condone cruelty to animals (all animals anyway) but thats funny and some people should lighten up.

[Vermingone]

What no frequent flyers points Bahhaaahahahahahahahahahahaha classy.

a hyrdrogen bomb detonated at the source of the problem would solve it, lets be realistic, its only Queensland :-)

Being a queenslander and growing up with thousands of these fucking things around, I don't even need to watch the video to know that I don't find it disturbing. As kids we used to lay 3 lengths of rope out in the yard to make a drag strip (at night). Get a singer sewing machine oil bottle each, fill it with petrol, insert into toads ass, light and wath the top fuel drag race that ensued.

Golf clubs, rifles whatever. you could kill hundreds of these in a night and there'd be the same amount again on the lawn the next night. I've seen them bigger than a dinner plate.

Tie a piece of fishing line around their ankle with a sinker tied to the other end and throw it on someones roof. It's just like rocking a roof but keeps on rocking all night as the little bastard jumps around

And yes......tally-ho paper rubbed over the poison glands and then roll a ciggie really does work. It's like taking acid.

Now that is awesome

They are a problem and they are on there way here.
Kill em.

Cane toad found in Canning Vale | Perth Now

[Rich]

While I was in QLD every toad in my backyard got picked up by the back legs and I whacked it's head on a post...

Instant death...

It is practically a sport to swerve on the road and run over as many as you can...

They are a fucking plague and it takes everything possible to kill them everyway you can...

But...torturing them isn't killing them and is against the whole idea...

Kill as many as you can, as quick as you can...

[Rat750]

*takes a bow*

[Desmo]

Oh I agree they need to die, it's just the manner in which they die that I have issue with.
Who in their right mind thinks it's OK to fill them full of accelerant and light them?
Seriously, the fuck?

[Rat750]

We were kids mate. Sure showing a lot more initiative for entertainment than vandalising shit or playing a playstation.

Edit: Nah fuck it......it was that much fun I'd do it again.

[Desmo]

So as a kid did you not know the difference between right and wrong?

[PBF]

What is wrong with people that try to find amusing ways of hurting and killing something?

Where does it end?

They are a pest, and as such i have no problems with them being eradicated, but doing it quickly and for a reason is very different to having a bigger smile the more sick and twisted you make the process.

Jim...

It's something that has happened in QLD for a long time...

Cane toad golf has been handed down from father to son, it's what they do to try to win the war...

Quite honestly if you had to bend down to pick up every toad you saw, you will get a bad back...

A one wood was found to be the perfect tool, and thus the invention of cane toad golf...

Neccessity is the mother of invention and all that...
