Poisonous Bufo toad

ctc in ftmyers : 7/23/2014 10:20 pm
Found one of those fuckers down in the barn tonight. It's in the freezer.They say to freeze them for 3 days to kill these fuckers. I'm not taking any chances. He was in one of the empty feed bags. My dog is down there all the time. They are dog killers. I'll post a picture once I know it's dead. It's huge.

But then I would guess it would leave a mess of toxic goo.

This is horrific.
Had one in my side yard last summer

Take him out of the bag. Garbage tomorrow and I was just going to throw his half frozen ass in there. My garbage goes to an incinerator.

More I think about it. I'll keep it in the chest freezer as a curio.

Chris you are right. I knew what it was right away. It was in an empty 50# feed bag with a few bits of feed in there.

I didn't want to risk getting any of that poison anywhere.
That's going

No it won't. They just go into hibernation and just go to sleep. If I were going to kill it any other way, it would be a bullet in the back of the head. Don't like to see any animal suffer.

Because I don't want the dogs getting into any thing when I let them out of the kennels in the morning. Also there are a lot of feral cats around. Why take a chance of getting any of that poison around that could hurt another animal.

Just like rattlesnakes and moccasins. Once you kill them they can still hurt you up to 24 hours.

Place bufo toad in microwave. Place microwave near curb for garbage pickup. Get long extension cord for microwave. Turn on microwave. Boom, leave for garbage pickup.
3 years ago I went outside and saw my dog with a toad in her mouth...  
okiegiant : 7/24/2014 9:43 am : link
she dropped it on command but it was too late. She was one sick pup for a couple of days!

To this day I don't have to give her leave it commands or anything when it comes to toads, frogs, or lizards(anything remotely like a toad). She is a very quick learner.
