News: Australians hunt down toxic toads

Maybe the beating and whomping is a bit cruel... but It's a good easy way to literally get everyone involved in helping to erradicate the toads. I'd imagine that most people won't be part of team's that go box up as many toads as possible to humanely dispose of, but if they can whack a soft-ball sized toad when they see one... they will.

Do I think its right? No. Is it effective? Most definitely.

At least they do offer humane disposal options, but hopefully with the toad-whacka-thon going on, other frog species aren't mistaken for the cane toads.
 
*gets golf club ready* FOUR!!!!!

lol Thats what I'll be doing when the Cane Toad crosses into W.A. It's time to eradicate this pest once and for all.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
