TPO 15
The lecturer completely refutes the reading passage. The speaker uses three points to indicate that none of the solutions which are given in the article is effective to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.
First, although a fence was successful to stop rabbits from spreading back in the begining of the twentieth century, a fence would not stop cane toads from spreading. This is because young toad and eggs are usually found in rivers and streams and they could cross the fence to new areas and establish new habbitates. This facts shows that building a national fence would be unlikely to stop cane toads from spreading.
Second, even thogh cane toads can be easily captured and destroyed by volunteers, other species might be destroyed as well. The professors mentions that there are many endangered frog species which live alongside with cane toads and they look similar to each other. Thus, untrained volunteers might hunt and destroy other young frogs instead of cane toads. This would cause other unwanted problem to the environment.
Finally, it is true that researchers have developed a virus that targets cane toads reproductive system, but it will infect other reptiles that usually get transfered to Central and South America. These repltiles will transmit the virus to the cane toads in both Americas where native cane toads live. This soultion is not parctical because it will destroy one of the most important species in the Americas.
