NEWS.com.au | Price put on toad's head (27-03-2005):
"'We may not find a weapon of mass destruction against cane toads, but some of the best brains in Queensland biotech will be focused on the task of controlling the spread of this amphibious vandal,' Mr Beattie said."
I blogged earlier about Cane Toads. They are hugely poisonous and have been a menace in Queensland. I also blogged about how good our biodiversity experts are in Australia when they are consulted and trusted to do the job. I am glad to see this development. I wonder if it will kill the thriving tourist industry based on cane toads. Yes, people stuff them and decorate them and they are hugely popular. They make sculptures and jewellery too. Cane toads have inspired our artists.
Toadbusters wage war on warty foe
