Go ahead Dave. If you don't mind I will just stand about 45 degrees to your right and about 20 feet away. Use the two iron and several towels.

The "toadies" will be mad, they smoke the chemical that ejects out of the toads poison glands...

That depends whether the hole has a frog-leg to the left or right...

Animal welfare groups discouraged people from taking up Tollner's call to arms, saying freezing the animals to death was more humane.
I see in the photo that they have already removed the toads overcoat, muffler, and mittens.

Do they sit still on the tee, or does one have to put the tee thru them to get them to stay for the drive? Also, if say the body goes into the cup, but one arm or leg sticks out, does it still count? What about drops?

.22 shorts or .22 birdshot should work fine.
But if I understand correctly, Australia has banned and confiscated all fire arms

Nah, that frog is far too good looking to be Helen Thomas.
If it was Helen Thomas I would be screaming right now, "My eyes, my eyes."

was thinking the same thing ...not quite the upright sight picture of a prairie dog, but.. (/shrug)
and right about the Aussies removing an important "pest control tool" (i.e., firearms) from the very folks who could use 'em.

The real problem with bashing them with golf clubs, in my thinking, is this:
Blowback, when toad blood, guts etc splash and hit you in the face.
This is a place for a "stand off" pest disposal tool

Was that Helen Thomas? There is a slight family resemblance (the warts/eyes :), and you could look @ it w/o turning to stone.

You understand incorrectly.
Australia has not banned and confiscated all firearms. People can completely legally own a wide range of firearms, provided they take the trouble to get the correct licence - even up to assault weapons if they want them.
A .22 rifle requires the most basic form of licence (A/B longarm) that anybody can get very easily, as long as they don't have a recent criminal record.
For various reasons, Australia's gun laws have been grossly misrepresented overseas - some people seem to like giving the false impression that we have been disarmed. The laws aren't brilliant - you have to navigate quite a bureaucracy if you want to own anything with any real power - but they're really not that bad.

Good Luck with your debunking.
You've got your work cut out for you.
