Cane toads 'invade' Western Australia - 12 Nov 08

[MrJellyfishGuy]

God make the world, World and God make Animals and humans, Humans export Animals, Humans kill Animals, Humans destroy everything

[MrJellyfishGuy]

I really really think youtubers should think twice before commenting something really retarded

[Th3firstsamurai]

this is bullshit you shoud never kills animals if they dont bother you you fuck tards

[volure1]

We are human top of food Chain you got you here now we kill you.

[volure1]

Kill then population control that what it call.

[beardiesrule1]

dont kill them you a holes!!!!!!!!!! it is ur falt for

bringing them to your country!!! not theirs!!!!

[semtex84]

@beardiesrule1 Pffft. The native animals of Australia are worth every death. Too many native animals die because of them.

[trex1547]

it's not the toads fault can't they ship they back to there country T_T ?

[Quadroblitz]

3:02, that litterally almost brought tears to my eyes, it's a sad thing to see helpless toads being carelessly stuffed into plastic bags, crushed by other toads, forced to share the same cruel fate. And just look at them, hopelessly trying to escape, and those douchebags are just randomly throwing them in there, not even caring a bit. Am I just gonna have to go to Australia and beat the heck out of everyone?!

[semtex84]

@Quadroblitz You seriously have no idea what you're talking about. How about you come and live here, have your dog or cat killed by one. Little kids are regularly poisoned by toads after accidentally picking them up and getting poison on their hands then mouth. You have no idea in the world what goes on outside your little bubblewrapped universe.

[Quadroblitz]

@semtex84

My world is not "bubble-wrapped." I'm pretty sure I had a pretty rough life. If my life was truely bubble-wrapped, I wouldn't be on the internet picking fights with trolls. Anyways, yea, I feel bad for all the little animals (oh yea, and humans... meh) who die when coming into contact with these creatures. Still, that in NO WAY justifies the slaughtering of these creatures. It was the fault of all humans that they ended up here in the first place; they should have thought about it.

[Quadroblitz]

@semtex84

Oh, and by the way, I don't have a cat or dog... I have a toad.

[amazingorigamiii]

Omg save them don't kill them you idiots!

[Quadroblitz]

@amazingorigamiii @DanTubeify @blackjack55551234

I know! Hey, we should all go to Australia, build a cane toad sancuary, then capture all the cane toads and put them in there where they won't be harmed or cause any other animals harm. There's a more humane way of doing things. And they're picking the toads up by their legs and throw them in crowded bags! That's freakin' animal abuse!

[ColdSideOfPillow136]

@Quadroblitz Now, I dont so much mind them getting rid of them, but as I love the fowlers toad here in SC, I think thats a GREAT idea! Or they ship em all to Venuzuala! BUT i would rather we stop killing native leopard frogs for disection and use the invasive cane toads. Think about all the northern leopard frogs that die for disection.

[Quadroblitz]

@ColdSideOfPillow136

Yeah, you're probably right, but what would be EVEN better, is if they killed ONE frog, and from that one frog, they can make millions of synthetic frogs.Think about it! People would be less squeemish in that kind of project, it would kill less frogs, you could buy them at stores instead of ordering them, less chance of germs, and they're reusable! It's the perfect solution!

P.S. I have a pet American Toad named Webster. You should friend me.

[Quadroblitz]

@ColdSideOfPillow136

By the way, does SC stand for South Carolina? 'Cause I'm going there next year for vacation. Also, I can't believe someone else on YouTube uses complete and correct grammar, with everything spelled right.

[ColdSideOfPillow136]

@Quadroblitz Yep. We've got tons of toads (at least around my neighborhood) I sometimes think half of these Youtubers are just retarded kindergarteners who cant spell for shit LOL

[818doodooroo]

fuckin australians, they fuck with every single fuckin shit they find. fuckin fuck fuck fuck fuck cock suckers mother fuckers.. (im australian btw) ..no im not fuck australia AHHAHAAAHHA

[DanTubeify]

SAVE THOSE TOADS DON'T KILL THEM

[malanduye]

Let this be a lesson to the European Australians,they invade the land took it from the natives and make it their own.The Toads are just repeating what they have done.What can the Native Australians do to get rid of the Alien Invaders of European Nature?Please let the Native Australians know so they could do it

[Smallmaxx]

Apparently there has been some kind of Ant (native, I don't know) that can kill the toad with......wait .......catfood,they are hoping the ants will be attracted to the slop and end up devouring the bastard sprog, either that or a good offroad vehicle.....

[DKaidian]

Silly question, but what kept the cane toad population in check in Hawaii? I mean, that's where they were originally imported from, but i haven't heard anything about Hawaii being overrun with them. Is that simply because Hawaii has a lot less land it was easier to hunt them down , or is there another reason?

[wilkes85]

Australia seems to have a number of things in common. We're both members of the British Commonwealth, we're both quite young countries, and Canada's full of destructive frogs too; only we call them Quebeckers.

[Lizarus1234]

fucken fuck peta

mother fuken fuks.

suck my fucken dick.

fucken read the book toad rage u fucken

fuckers

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

u peta

[blackjack55551234]

Save the toads!

[1980NewWave]

How many more ways can Australians ruin their natural ecosystems?

Rabbits, mice, foxes, goats, camels, feral cats, and worst of all....cane toads.

Are you folks down there about finished bringing in exotic species to destroy your natural treasures? Crap....

[tangent272]

Gassing them is all well and good but if you haven't got time for that just kill them in whatever way is most convienient.

I've got a mate who still tells stories about the year the cane toad came to Catherine in the NT and the great Jihad that followed.

Word to the wise though, golf clubs and cricket bats may be fun but they don't actually kill the little monsters half the time, best to flatten them with a good solid pair of gum boots or a brick.

[JJfactor1]

pleze all aussie animal lovers organise toad hunts at least every month we made this mess we need to clean it up pleze hunt them

[treemania]

Dettol works...for some reason

[cleopatra10z]

They removed me again from yt for posting my pics! Can you believe it?

[universallydespised]

do they come with mayo?

[renae4]

oh fark im moving to derby, lame! i get to kill the cane toads atleast.

[Dawnslight91]

cheese

[anveshane]

fuck em people down under..

[y2knoproblem]

Who was the genius that brought the cane toad to Australia? He should spend the rest of life collecting cane toads.

[lalta08]

That may be difficult. Cane toads were introduced to Australia in the 1930s.

[kotk05]

My weapon of choice: a sock filled with rocks

[renae4]

you can actually freeze them

[imBrothersReport]

News that concerns Muslims!!!

TheBrothersReport com

[brick4sale]

Invasive species can ruin entire ecosystems I think there is something similar in Guam with snakes. Oh well it happens everywhere but Australia seems to have so many invasive species, kills the toads.

[somethingawful01]

Is this the great threat from Indonesia those criminal offspring have been scared off? Oh wait, the toads didn't come from Indonesia... ah screw it, we have to blame it on someone so we'll just blame it on those Muslim terrorists.

Enjoy your toad infestation while you die of heart attacks due to fear of being invaded by your neighbour to the north.

[widgit007]

Somethingawful01. You claim to be Dutch. I am of Dutch descent. No one in Australia thinks religion has anything to do with Cane Toads. Why don't you learn a little more about international relations before you mouth off? Australians hate South American Cane Toads just as much as European Rabbits, Mice, Rats and Foxes.

An invasion by Indonesia is just not realistic.

[TECHKLEC]

RE:Somethingawful01:I just can't understand why some people have to make an unrelated issue about international relations and then start slinging their ignorant sh#t at other countries?

[widgit007]

I have no problem with cane toads in South America. However in Australia, whenever you see a cane toad, kill it. "golf club, cricket bat", foot or car, we have a responsibility to kill as many as we can. While i have no wish for them to suffer unnecessarily, stomping on their heads is quick and efficient.

[TECHKLEC]

I suppose there are no natural predators in the area, upsetting the balance of nature. The eastern United States is having a similar problem with snakehead fish.

[widgit007]

TECHKLEC. While i am unfamiliar with snakehead fish. Yes, the problem is they eat every thing they can ( native species ) and they are toxic to all native and domesticated animals that try to kill them.

[ubuibiok]

I been physically killing these guys for 40 years in south Florida, they have wiped out most of the native frogs and fish dont eat them.

They even will even get into a dog food dish and eat dry dog food, the dogs learn quickly not to lick them or they get sick.

[TECHKLEC]

Do you mean that youv'e been killing these toads or snakehead fish? I wasn't aware that either were in Florida.

[jamblinuk]

the result of human greed

[pleytes]

Ecological terrorism, this is a sad thing. There will be so many animals that will go extinct. This has happened in various ways here in the US as well "example carp introduce to lakes devastating native specious". If we counter by bringing in another specious who is to say the damage that will cost. Is a messed up circle. Then again, global warming will cause a lot more animal extinctions than anything else... Bummer...

[ratonnewmex]

um...i think the CHEMTRAILS cause alot of these animals' demise.

[DrBones666]

More stupidity from the old Howard government.

Didn't anyone learn anything about importing non-native species into Australia. Rabbit problems, fox problems and now toad problems.

Now you need a toad virus. Don't do this again. Your bug problems come from the stupid ways your farmers grow their crops. Quit spraying and start balancing.

[moatguy]

We can't use a virus until we are sure it's harmless to our native animals.

[crypto457]

the austrailians did it once before during a rabbit invasion, and also it is encouraged to to squish them with tripple wide tires, shoot them and use them as fertilizer, hell they also use their skins as coin purses.

[jaim12005]

well they were not supposed to be there. man interfered with nature...and want to fix it by further meddling. I think maybe they should try to remove the toads in this particular case. But I doubt they will be successful. It's one of many lessons man will inevitably ignore and repeat many times over. :eyeroll:

[ratonnewmex]

such a true comment...excellent comment

[bdyan1]

man i miss AUS T_T

[EmperorAtahualpa]

I don't believe in this concept of "humans saving the ecosystem". Perhaps we should just let the ecosystem evolve by itself. Sure, this frog might be poisonous to some species, but surely there must be species in Venezuela that are resistant to them. I'm sure that automatically species will start to appear like that in Australia, too. That is the whole idea of evolution, right?

So I say Australians should just sit back and trust evolution, because nature will find its balance again.

[kimz86]

we are part of evolution.. and we fight of our survival.. if we let evolution take place we might vanish and that my friend.. we're trying to prevent, i understand the priority of evolution, but our survival is more important..

[EmperorAtahualpa]

You're not seriously suggesting Australians will die because of the rise of the cane toad, are you?

If they would for instance destroy the harvest of crops, of course they should be killed. But next to that, I still don't see any immediate reason to kill them. Next to that, I also think it's basically an impossible mission to bring these toads to a halt with just a couple of volunteers.

[kimz86]

oh no i never suggested that.. i'm just discussing if we should let evolution take place without getting involve or not.. just saying people care about themselves more than evolution, i know that biological wise it's wrong but that's the way it goes

[EmperorAtahualpa]

Of course I agree that people care about themselves more than evolution, but that's not my point. What I'm trying to say is, Australians should trust in nature that a new balance in the ecosystem will also work out for the Australian people in the long run, even if short-term effects might look worrying. So I'm not condemning these volunteers per se. I'm just calling it rather pointless and, next to that, too difficult to even accomplish.

[kimz86]

well.. the new balance in the ecosystem might also work for them true, but maybe not as good as this one so..

[EmperorAtahualpa]

"well.. the new balance in the ecosystem might also work for them true, but maybe not as good as this one so.."

Maybe you're right, maybe you're not. I guess in this case, we'll never know. :)

[kimz86]

all i know is.. the two of us took over this comment table! :D

[EmperorAtahualpa]

"ll i know is.. the two of us took over this comment table! :D "

Yes indeed...in fact, I think we are disturbing the "YouTube ecosystem" right now. :P

[kimz86]

hahaha!

[EmperorAtahualpa]

But I also understand you're just "discussing if we should let evolution take place without getting involve or not". But if we intervene in nature before it even gets the chance to find a new balance, we will never know what kind of good things might result from this little toad, will we? :)

[kimz86]

will you take the risk? and get the system where your presence and the goods you can get out of it are very limited? :)

[EmperorAtahualpa]

Yes, personally I would take that risk, but (perhaps fortunately) I'm not the one in power to decide. :)

[kimz86]

also this is not evolution.. we brought them to Australia in 1st place.. so we did already interfere and we're trying to get the ecosystem back to what it was

[EmperorAtahualpa]

You're kind of implying that toads are the first new species in Australia. But of course, they are far from the first. Just one example is that there were no cactuses/cacti in Australia before colonialism started. I'm not a specialist, but I expect there are many more examples. So my point is that, in fact, Australian wildlife has already changed quite much and if you want to kill the toads, then why not remove cactuses too?

[kimz86]

yea you're making a good point but, as long as they turned out to me harmless.. they'll keep it, listen man i'm not arguing just to argue.. cause i know it's sounds like that, just like you i believe evolution is way stronger than us and we shouldn't fight it back.. 'm just saying that's not the case for those who bring new species to a new environment and then kill it

[KN0MAAD]

Camels too, Australia has more camels than any other country XD

[moatguy]

Also Australia is the only country today where one humped camels live wild. Wild one humped camels are extinct in their navite Africa.

[KN0MAAD]

Hey thanks,I didn't know about that one, but I did know they are called Dromedaries. =D

[moatguy]

They can be called one-humped camels too. Some animals have more then one comman name.

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

Global warming?

[ratonnewmex]

nope...CHEMTRAILS!
