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 states that the cane toad population has increased in Australia and causes some negative impacts, thus several suggestions have been proposed to prevent Toad's spreading. However, the lecturer says that all of the proposed method of the author is unconvincing and it would not possible to stop spreading of toads and then refutes each of the author's claims.
First of all, the author of the reading states that to build a national fence could be prevented cane tode spread in Australia because this way Australia had stopped the spread of rabbit and another species which was introduced from abroad and occurs a harmful impact on its native ecosystem. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He says that It would be possible for a young cand tode population to stop on one side other sides like river and steam also responsible to carry young cane tode and the eggs, hence it could not possible to stop spread cane toade in Australia.
Secondly, The reading posits that volunteers could have captured and destroyed the cane tode because it is easy to capture in a simple trap and by hand. Furthermore, the reading says that since it is easy to gather toade's eggs easily and destroy thus collective effort would stop the toad spreading. The lecturer, however, rebuts this claim that it might have possible to prevented by the collective method but it is very dangerous if the Volunters are not sufficiently trained up. In addition, the lecturer states that it is very difficult to figure out differently between native fog eggs and toad eggs, thus it would happen that untrained Volunteers destroy native species.
Finally, the readins asserts that the toad could be destroyed by the developing of disease-causing
virus. Also, the reading posits that this virus actually developed a very special way like while it could destroy reptile and amphibian species but not to infected native toads and other species. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that it is a completely terrible decision because although this virus destroy the invading species of the Australian's zone but toad are actually very effective and friendly in South America, thus this way actually destroys the whole ecosystem and bring lots of bad impacts.
