The Great Toad Massacre of 2009 →[More:]

Sort of reminds me of the big jackrabbit roundups back in the dust bowl. Except that was bad. This doesn't seem so bad at all. And the RSPCA says it's okay, and I believe them.

Cane toads are EVIL EVIL EVIL. This is an awesome way to try and get their numbers down.

I admit at first I was horrified. But since they cause so much damage, and they are humanely euthanized..well, I felt a bit better about it.

Fuck the toads - kill 'em I say! I have NO SYMPATHY for Cane Toads.

I remember watching a show on the cane toads and a car driving down a lonesome road was weaving not to miss the toads but to hit them. The guy looked drunk!

why am I reminded of the snake whacking day on the simpsons?

terrapin, I think that would be Cane Toads: An Unnatural History, which I believe is the only documentary that has made me laugh out loud repeatedly. Indeed, when I saw this post I added it to our movie queue so that I can one day share the larfs with BOP. Thanks for reminding me of it, mudpuppie.
