Cane toads are a major problem in Australia, so bad in fact they are a declared Key Threatening process under federal Legislation in the Environment protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999(EPBC Act). They are one of the worst invasive species in the world. Cane toads breed up into huge numbers and dominate the ecology in the area.The are listed as a threatening process because they kill native predators, compete with native wildlife for food and breeding and shelter sites and eat native wildlife.
To kill a toad humanely, the easiest approach is to pick the animal up (gloves are a good idea, to ensure you don’t get exposed to the toad’s poison!) and put it in a plastic bag, then pop the bag into the fridge. After a few hours the toad will be pretty much asleep (although still very much alive) and you can pop the bag into the freezer. Leave it there for a long time – preferably a few days
