Problem amphibians - mainly cane toads

One of the best examples of the hazards of taking organisms out of their natural habitat.
Seems there may be a natural (native) cure for the cane toad problem:

Hi Paul,
I was listening to my local radio station BBC Radio Kent yesterday while driving from job to job and under discussion was the Cane Toad,
The Interveiwer was asking an australian guy about these cane toad picnics that they go on, seemingly, a bunch of freinds go out, taking plastic bags with them, as well as "some sarnies and some tinnies" and catch Cane Toads, they are taken somewhere and handed over to be dispatched humanely,
What a way to spend your weekend
Duncan
