The cane toad is a large (1.8 kg) amphibian species native to Central and South America. It was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1935 with the expectation that it would protect farmers' crops by eating harmful insects. Unfortunately, the toad multiplied rapidly, and a large cane toad population now threatens small native animals that are not pests. Several measures have been proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.
One way to prevent the spread of the toad would be to build a national fence. A fence that blocks the advance of the toads will prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. This approach has been used before: a national fence was erected in the early part of the twentieth century to prevent the spread of rabbits, another animal sSpecies that was introduced in Australia from abroad and had a harmful impact on its native ecosystems.
Second, the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. Cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even be captured by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy, since they are restricted to the water. If the Australian government were to organize a campaign among Australian citizens to join forces to destroy the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading.
Third, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad populations. This virus will be specially designed: although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it will not harm most of the infected species; it will specifically harm only the cane toads. The virus will control the population of cane toads by preventing them from maturing and reproducing.
The reading and the lecture are about the widespread of cane toad.More specifically, in the reading passage, the writer provides three ways by which the mammals could be ameliorated.The lecturer, however, is quick to point out that there are some serious flaws made in the writer’s claim.In fact, he believes and addresses in details the troubles with each point made in the reading text.
First and foremost, the author states that constructing the national fence will serve as principal defense for the amphibians.The lecturer,however, stand in firm opposition to this claim.He states that national fence wouldn’t be a good idea because young told are found in the stream and as a result, the river and stream can’t flow to each other.Therefore fence will be unsuccessful.
Secondly, the author claims that trapping the toad by hand is going to be effective.Again the speaker rebutted this claim.He specifically addresses this point when he states that untrained volunteers wouldn't be able to destroy the road because they are dangerous and endangered.
Finally, the author brings his argument to close by suggesting that researchers innovating pathogenic virus will control toad population.Not surprisingly, the professor refuted this claim by contending that they will eventually come up with a terrible consequence in South America.Besides, American reptiles and amphibians are transported to other continent.Also, virus attack the cane toad and causes ecological disaster.Therefore the ecosystem will suffer.
