Cane Toad Burgers

Cane toads - I thought this story was finished with my last post on the subject, when it looked as though they were going to be sold to China ......

Cane Toads - Burgers A Possibilty

Cane Toads - Burgers

 
However those darn cane toads are still proving a problem and now its proposed to make "Caneburgers" for the local wild life, in order to 'teach them' that they are poisonous with out killing them off.

One suspects that this is not the last we will hear of these pesky toads ....

    An Update:

    There is a promising development that may help tackle a number of invader species: Gene-Editing via CRISPR technology has allowed scientists to employ what are called "Gene drives".

    The DNA introduced into the invader species often makes one sex infertile and with the added safety switch off gene that can be added its been suggested as a solution to Cane Toads, in Australia, Grey Squirrels in the UK, and even Mosquitoes.
