Cane toads are a feral animal, with great ecological impact on the Top End native landscape. They need to be killed humanely (eg. Smashing them on the head really quickly, or pitting them in a dark bag and then the freezer ASAP. ) After they are dead- best to freezer either way and make sure, you need to cut the legs off and skin them (see website for details) Their bodies make great compost- put in a closed bin away from other animals!
