The reading and the lecture are both about cane toads, and how they ruin the plants and native animals in australia. The author of the reading, believes that Cane Toads should be exterminated, and should get rid of them right away. The lecturer casts doubts made on the claims made in the article. He thinks that the Cane toads were Australia's fault and not their own fault.
First of all, the author points out that there were fences made, in parts of Australia that the cane toads had not colonized in. It is mentioned that this will keep the toads from expanding their colony. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that the fences will not always keep the toads away. Furthermore, He says that the rivers, will eventually allow them to expand farther and more.
Secondly, the author contends that, the citizens can capture them and destroy them. The article notes that the eggs are even easier to catch so that they could destroy them. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He suggests that the citizens may instead hurt other toads. He elaborates on this by stating that you might harm native toads who were there from the beginning.
Finally, the author states that scientists could create a virus. The author establishes that this virus could kill them all. The lecturer on the other hand points out that these viruses would go to north and south America and affect the Toads there. He puts forth on this idea by establishing that the toads are very native in America and killing them off would be bad.
