Warning -get out of B.C. if you're a bullfrog!

This, in its entirety, from a roundup of gardening news in
The Toronto Free Press

Watch for B.C. (British Columbia) versus bullfrogs this spring as the
kill-a-kermit campaign takes off in earnest around Victoria. The adult
amphibians will be electro-shocked, scooped and frozen to death, their
tadpoles caught in special traps. The bullfrogs, which are not native
the B.C., have exploded in numbers recently. They chow down on
ducklings, small fish, turtles and even attempting, it on record, small
cats.

There has to be a more humane way to sort this?? all of us with Reptiles
as pets know they feel... this is cruelty. if it HAS to be done, it
SHOULD be done humanely!!

one of the FEW times I think PETA should step in (bet they are all for it,
like the RSPB was for a cull of Ducks that MAY breed with a rare species
although it was not proven they could or would...)

I know these things are causing a lot of problems for native wildlife, but
that's a barbaric way to euthanize them!! (let George bush talk em to death
or something??)
