Opinion is divided as to how best to kill them. While some advocate the use of a cricket bat or golf club, the Australian RSPCA suggests that hunters anaesthetise them by smearing them with haemorrhoid cream before putting them in the freezer and waiting until they are dead.

Cane Toad Blues - Tim Finn

Cane toads are coming, cane toads are coming,
Main roads are humming with the cane toad blues,
Cane toads are coming, cane toads are coming,
Main roads are humming with the cane toad blues.
Cane toads...
When are you gonna leave me alone?
Heading south,
Like a case of foot and mouth
Cane toads...
You're supposed to set us free
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cane toads are coming, cane toads are coming...
Main roads are humming with the cane toad blues
Cane toads are coming, cane toads are coming,
Main roads are humming with the cane toad blues.
Cane toads
ba, pa, da...
da, pa, da, pa, da, da, da.

Cane toads
You go chomp and live in the swamp
Yeah.
Cane toads,
You're supposed to set us free
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cane toads are coming,
Main roads are humming with the cane toad blues.
Cane toads are coming, cane toads are coming,
Main roads are humming with the cane toad blues.
Yeah.........(whistles...)

Are they the hallucinogenic ones?.

[xoggoth]

That's what I was going to say. They make good licking. Even if they aren't hallucinogenic, licking a toad sounds good anyway.
