Toad fertilizer anyone?
Wouldn't want to be a toad in Oz at the moment.
"Officials in Australia's Queensland state have come up with a novel solution to deal with a plague of poisonous cane toads.
They are holding a festive mass killing of the creatures and turning the corpses into fertiliser for the farmers who have battled the pests for years.
On Saturday, residents of five communities in Queensland state will hunt down the toads as part of the inaugural Toad Day Out celebration.
The toads will be taken to collection points on Sunday to be killed, with some of the remains going to a local waste management plant to be ground into fertiliser for sugarcane farmers.
The toads were imported from South America to Queensland in 1935 in a failed attempt to control beetles on sugarcane plantations"
Euwwwww!
