TPO 15

The lecture mainly contradicts the author's arguments regarding the ways to destroy cane toads. The article suggests three ways to protect Australian farms from the species, however, the professor does not believe that the ways are as beneficiary as the passage claims, and refutes each of the article's mentioned ways to destroy the cane: making the fence, capturing by volunteers and spreading virus.

First and foremost, the passage asserts that a fence can regulate the cane movements from spreading to the other side of Australia. The lecturer, however, declines the idea providing that many young canes and its eggs live in rivers and streams, and therefore a fence can not stop it from establishing the population to the other side the fence.

According to the passage, cane toads are easy to be captured by volunteers. In contrast, the professor mentions that many of the volunteers are untrained. According to her, many Australian native frogs' eggs are hard to be distinguished from canes' eggs; therefore, volunteers, who are normal people, can not easily capture and destroy the canes' population.

Finally, the author wraps his argument positioning that a specifically designed virus can help to decrease the canes' population, while, the professor claims that the virus can not only hurt the cans in Australia, but also the ones live in their native habitant, America. The professor concedes that the virus is practical, but she claims that many researchers and pet collectors bring other American habitants such as reptiles, and these species can be brought the virus back to States. According to the professor, Cane toads are native habitants of Central and South America and harming them would destroy the whole ecosystem at those places.

To conclude, both the writer and the professor hold conflicting ideas regarding the ways to destroy the cane toad. Although the professor's arguments seem more reasonable to me, they would have a hard time finding common ground on this issue.
