The author describes that various approaches have been suggested to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia and brings up three reasons to support this claim. On the other hand, the professor asserts that methods to get rid of cane toad are not as easy as the reading suggests and they are either unsuccessful or cause environmental damage. She refutes each of the author's points with rational grounds.
First, the author states that building a national fence to prevent the spread of the toad would be a good decision. Nevertheless, the speaker points out that erecting a fence is not a right choice. In fact, the young cane toads and their eggs are in the streams and rivers. In this way, building a fence cannot be effective due to the fact that streams can carry young toads and eggs into other sides. To be more specific, although the fences prevent cane toads from spreading, their population can be established through the river in other places.
Second, according to the reading, the toads can be captured by volunteers easily. Conversely, the speaker brings up the idea that volunteer work can be either unsuccessful or destructive. As a matter of fact, volunteers are untrained persons who can cause lots of damage to surrounding environment. The professor takes the Australian native frog as an example. It is an endangered animal that it is hard to apart them from the cane toads, especially when they are young.
Third, the writer expresses that environmental researchers can develop a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad populations. However, the speaker posits that spreading a disease-causing virus can lead to terrible consequences in the original habitat in Central and South America. She says that Australian reptiles and amphibians are brought to other continents, such as central part of America. More precisely, cane toads are the native animals in Central America and by eliminating them, vital animals in the whole environment are removed which disturb the eco-environmental balance and cause lots of ecological disasters.
Therefore, the points mentioned in the reading do not make any sense.
