The cool-and-freeze method involves placing cane toads in a fridge for 24 hours, which puts them in a state of torpor, before transferring them to the freezer to finish them off.
She said this was more humane than other methods of killing cane toads, such as bashing them with cricket bats or crushing them under cars.
“Our learning and our knowledge have evolved since the days of cane toad golf,” Ms Tomsett said.
“It’s important to treat all animals humanely. Cane toads have to be removed, and it’s not their fault they’re here.”
Maybe they are thinking if it’s not a direct head squash, the animals body would be significantly injured and they would be in pain and die a slow death? But I agree, an instant precise head squash would in theory be quicker than putting them in a cold dark fridge for hours?
