The article discusses several precautions that have been implemented to stop widespread of the cane toad in Australia and provide three ways of prevention. However, the professor explains that stopping spread of the cane toad will not be easy as the article describes. She states that these ways were unsuccessful in their approach and led to environmental damage.

First, the reading states that building national fence prevents the toad from spreading to other places that are not colonized yet. The professor refute this point by explaining that the fence will not be effective to stop the rapid movement of the cane toad because their eggs can carry out to other places by using water streams. And since the fence is not build on water way; it would be useless.

Second, the article claims that an easy way to prevent the toad cane from spreading was capturing and destroying them by volunteers. On the other hand, the professor states that those untrained group of people may be captured toad cane. However, they also could capture and destroy frog population for the reason they are lacking the acknowledge to distinguish between the young frog and the toad cane. Because both of these animals are relatively similar and it could very difficult recognizing them.

Third, the reading avers that developing of certain virus, that causing disease, that specifically attacks the toad can and would decline their populations. In contrast, the professor explains the negative consequences of using the viral method to other animal populations. She states that certain reptile species, amphibian animals are living in South America, are also infected by this virus because they are traveling from the infected places. As a result, they are disturbing ecological system in these areas. Since the toad cane is native in South America and part of the biological ecosystem.
