The cool-and-freeze method involves placing cane toads in a fridge for 24 hours, which puts them in a state of torpor, before transferring them to the freezer to finish them off.

She said this was more humane than other methods of killing cane toads, such as bashing them with cricket bats or crushing them under cars.

“Our learning and our knowledge have evolved since the days of cane toad golf,” Ms Tomsett said.

“It’s important to treat all animals humanely. Cane toads have to be removed, and it’s not their fault they’re here.”

    Very true its not their fault they’re here. But is it a greater evil to take a slow methodical approach and risk other animals suffering because they accidentally ate them?
