A "monster" cane toad the size of a small dog has been captured by environmentalists in Australia.

Toads got nipples?

And Moobs?

"This is an example of how the war against cane toads can be won,"

Nearly any war can be won if it's waged without mercy.

Congrats to the Aussies for finally fighting a merciless battle against this ecologically disastrous pest!

Hate them. During certain times of year I have to do a perimeter check of the back yard before the dogs can go out to potty. They have never shown interest in them, but who wants to take a chance?

The toads have to be captured alive and unharmed, examined by experts, and then killed humanely under the event rules.

Do they get a last meal? And if so, what about the poor dead flies they're feasting on?

Depending on which part contains the poison, I wonder why don't they cook up some fried toad legs?
