Default Re: tell a Model A related story

Further to today’s story of snakes.

Cane Toads. These horrid creatures originated in the south of Central America and were introduced in Australia in 1935 to control a beetle in sugar cane. It was not successful in controlling that beetle however their rapid build up of numbers was. These toads can excrete poison down their spine and there is not a single animal here that can digest them. It’s death. The community and government want them destroyed humanly by catching them live and putting them in a freezer. That's humane they say and it's law. Governments can be quite silly can't they. I found a golf stick was better and they say splat when you run your motor car over them.
Now why have I written this. Today’s newspaper reports the death of a python in a Queensland yard. It had been resident there for years and killed by a cane toad. These toads are on the march from Queensland and are now as far south as Sydney and west into the Kimberlies.
The picture of the dead python shows the toad sitting at the body of the python.

For anyone interested the article in the news can be found via the link below.
