Probably a Epipedobates tricolor.. They produce a analgesic chemical 200 times as potent as morphine!

Cane toads being the pest that they are, it’s a good thing. There was an uproar about encouraging people to be cruel to the toads so they changed the rules and now all the toads have to be turned in alive and in good shape so they can be euthanized with CO2. It struck me as odd because running over cane toads with your truck is almost a sport as is doing all sorts of other cruel things to them.

I was laughing all day about it. Who the hell puts this is a book and thinks: “Why kids fucking up animals is always a healthy fun idea”.

i think i have as much interest in beating on anyone as much as Shannon has in harming defenseless animals.

Disclaimer: no longhairs have been harmed in the process of this posting.

Because the longhairs beat back.

Heh, in Soviet Russia, longhairs beat you!

For shame, Shannon, for shame. :)

Results might resemble something from Laurel and Hardy.

Set a small piece of drainpipe up like a slide. Child stands at the bottom with a mallet. The rat (usually dead) is dropped down the drainpipe and the child has to hit it with the mallet. The dropper conseals when they have let go of the rat by putting their eitire hand in the drainpipe before letting go.
Good clean fun. We used to play it with a beanbag instead. Less guts being smashed about the place I suppose…
