The reading states that there are possible solutions to prevent the cane toad in Australia from reproducing and provides three reasons of support. However, the lecturer explains that these suggestions are not easy to apply and refutes each of the author's suggestions.
First of all, the reading claims that building a national fence could stop these creatures from spreading to new places. However, the professor opposes this point by saying this idea is not effective enough. She clarifies that these animals may find current streams, so this stream would carry them and their eggs to new areas easily.
Secondly, the reading mentions that massive volunteers could help to catch these animals and destroy their eggs. However, the lecturer counters this point by saying these volunteers may not have the appropriate knowledge to realize the difference between the toads' eggs and other native species' eggs like frogs.
Thirdly, the article suggests that scientists may develop a particular virus to attack the toads, as a result, the virus could prevent them from breeding.
However, the professor posits this idea by saying the virus could transport to other places and cause harmful effects to the toads in central America where these animals are essential to the ecosystem there.
