The RSPCA in Australia recommends freezing Cane Toads as the most humane
way
of
disposing of the poisonous pests BTW. But you gotta kill them after
freezing,
or they just thaw out and hop away.

The truly, truly desperate in search of a high have been known to boil
them
up and drink the toxin-laden result. It contains hallucinagens as well
as
a variety of purely ppoisonous alkaloids.
