Cane Toads

[GTR-N1]

Introduced into Qld to kill an insect.

Now out of control themselves.

How would you get rid of them?

1) Can they be eaten after poison glands are removed?

2) Can a sound engineer find a frequency that drives them nuts or acts as a contrraceptive (since they need a certain type of call to find a mate)?

#2 sounds pretty cool.

1 - would rather a zinger burger from KFC

2- would hazard a guess and say if it would work, 'they' would have done by now...

Queenslands first bogan golf tournament.

it would be like a those volunteer search crews, walking through large spaces of bush armed with golf clubs. or maybe the worlds biggest cane-toad proof fence. cause it worked well for the rabbits.

[xALmoN]

apparently they can be eaten.

[hardsteppa]

I'm sure they CAN be, but....

[xALmoN]

had american bullfrog, amazing delicate flavour, apparently they taste similar.

Hmm I'd probably try Hoi Sin Sauce as first choice. Vegemite #2.

- A bounty like coke bottles in S.A

- Find a predator that kills Cane toads (then worry about how to kill them next)

- Send em to Naru ? (and let the natives beat them up)

- Export as a delicacy to replace whale meat

- use as ammo for the hydraulic spud gun ?

- arm queenslanders with nitrogen sprayers

carrying a 1 wood does sound like the most fun though ^

I wondered if you got a big plastic water tank, like 50,000ltr, dig it into ground level and cut the top of with a bit of water in it as it would attract them and once half full got a 5m auger bit on a 50 tonne excavator and blend
