The cane toad is a large (1.8 kg) amphibian species native to Central and South America. It was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1935 with the expectation that it would protect farmers’ crops by eating harmful insects. Unfortunately, the toad multiplied rapidly, and a large cane toad population now threatens small native animals that are not pests. Several measures have been proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.
One way to prevent the spread of the toad would be to build a national fence. A fence that blocks the advance of the toads will prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. This approach has been used before: a national fence was erected in the early part of the twentieth century to prevent the spread of rabbits, another animal species that was introduced in Australia from abroad and had a harmful impact on its native ecosystems.
Second, the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. Cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even be captured by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy, since they are restricted to the water. If the Australian government were to organize a campaign among Australian citizens to join forces to destroy the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading.
Third, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad populations. This virus will be specially designed: although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it will not harm most of the infected species; it will specifically harm only the cane toads. The virus will control the population of cane toads by preventing them from maturing and reproducing.
The reading is on the various ways to stop the diffusion of Cane toad in Australia. It provides three supporting details in order to buttress its proposition. However, the professor says the approach will rather fall in abyss. She refutes each of the reading stance.
First, the passage states national fence will prevent Cane toad population spreading. The lecturer denies this position. She explains, those fence making will not stop the dissemination of Cane toad because young toads are found in the stream. The water system will allow to reach the Cane toad on the other side of the fence more easily.
Second, the reading claims the volunteer will capture the toad and destroy them. But, the professor refutes this claim. She says, these untrained volunteer will not able to identify the difference between Cane toad and native frog. And they will rather destroy native frog population.
Third, the passage asserts disease causing virus will curb the Cane toad spreading. The idea is quite immature and incoherent with the lecturer. The professor elaborates the possible spreading of virus. She says, when the virus is going to introduce in the forest, it will also lapsed with others animals. And, when the pet will export to America, virus will go to there and harm the Native American Can toad. This approach would bring possible ecological disaster.
