QLD:Cold response to toad whacking day

The RSPCA isn't amused by a Queensland poll which has found bashing cane toads to death
with a golf club is the preferred option for sixty per cent of residents.

Only nine per cent of respondents to the Sunshine Coast Daily poll said they would
choose placing the toads in their fridge or freezer .. the method sanctioned by their
local council and the RSPCA.

RSPCA community relations manager MICHAEL BEATTY says there's nothing wrong with humanely
killing a cane toad but is concerned about the cruel .. unusual and disturbing killing
methods mentioned in the poll.
