They all seem to have that stupid Froglike grin so even if they are unhappy they still look like they have had a narrow squeak from one of your Pythons.

The cane toads look very stupid, particularly after The Navigator has sprayed them with Dettol.

Don't ever use that stuff! It has a residual effect on dirt, grass etc. and can give toxic shock to other creatures. It is a 'Feel Good' thing but killing 5, 10, 20 or so toads in your yard will do nothing to accelerate their eradication.

Dare I use this as an analogy as to how Australia's reduction of carbon output will affect the globe?

Also, more importantly, can your wife tell the difference between a toad and a Pobblebonk, especially in low light situations?

Luckily there are a few troughs topped up by the bore.

No, probably not. Her hatred of cane toads is highly irrational.
