Cane Toad Terminator: Florida Man Turns Amphibian Vigilante to Save the Day
Florida has an enemy. And it’s the cane toad. Now, you may be thinking toads are just those chubby, bumpy dudes that hang out by ponds. Cane Toads are just trying to look all cute and stuff! Well, not these cane toads. These dudes are invading places like Florida, Australia, and probably planning a hostile takeover of your local kiddie pool, as we speak.
A man named Joshua Hughes, has taken it upon himself to be Florida’s very own Toad Terminator. Armed with a BB gun and a flashlight, like some kind of amphibian-hating vigilante, he’s out on the streets of Lutz, Florida, ready to blast some slimy invaders into oblivion.
According to WTSP, on his first night out, he eliminated over 60 toads, and since then, he’s become the John Wick of the toad world, tallying up over 100 kills. He even tried freezing them, which honestly sounds like some sort of froggy cryogenic experiment gone wrong. But hey, at least he gave it the ol‘ college try, right?
Cane Toad Terminator:
Now, these toads are no joke. They’re not your average, run-of-the-mill amphibians. These are invasive, poisonous party crashers, ruining the local ecosystems. They’ve got toxic secretions that can be deadly to your pets, which is not cool. So, you see, Joshua Hughes isn’t just a guy with a BB gun… He’s a savior of furry friends and a protector of backyards everywhere.
In the end, the tale of Joshua Hughes and his quest to rid Florida of those invasive cane toads is a reminder that sometimes the most bizarre and unexpected challenges call for some out-of-the-box solutions. Even if it involves a BB gun.
