Army plea as toxic toads march on

Officials in Western Australia have called for the army to be deployed to stop an invasion of cane toads.

The state government has written to its federal counterpart in Canberra, asking for permission to use troops as a first line of defence.

Will the troops be wearing their helmets for this operation? Are we talking a full scale military operation; artillery, tanks, planes, landmines, automatic weapons, reconacense? Will the Geneva Convention be adhered to?

"Jesus Bob one of 'em is getting by you! Shoot it! Shoot!"

One member of Australia's federal parliament has previously suggested that people should beat them with a golf club or a cricket bat.

Ahhh, the troops will be supplied with bats & clubs.

Animal welfare groups have said that the humane way to get rid of these invaders is to put them into a freezer until they die.

How is slowly freezing any more humane than electrocution or a gunshot?

I think someone should call Sam Elliot and ask him what he did back in 1972.
