    Default Giving Cane Toads the Ar...

    Pinched this off another forum.

    Haemorrhoid cream for cane toads
    TERRITORIANS face fines of up to $12,000 for killing cane toads with golf clubs and cricket bats, it was learned yesterday.

    The RSPCA's acting chief executive Lindsay Wilkinson said dispatching the pests with one clean shot was not illegal. But it was against the law if several blows were needed.

    He suggested using haemorrhoid cream instead to anaesthetise them.

    But Mr Wilkinson added:"You don't need to rub it in as you normally might elsewhere."

    He said hitting toads several times could be considered causing pain and suffering - and would be a contravention of the Animal Welfare Act.

    "It is irresponsible and cruel to bash cane toads with implements like golf sticks or cricket bats," Mr Wilkinson said. "Bashing rarely kills cane toads outright and can leave the creature to suffer a lingering death."

    He said Territorians should don gloves and apply a strip of benzocaine ointment - better known as haemorrhoid cream - for about 25mm along the back of the toad. .....

    All the more reason for bringing back the mandatory carrying of handguns, I reckon. (To dispatch the toads humanely )

    That is what the cream is for...lubrication.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonay in one hand - Strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming - "WOO WOO...What a ride"
