To be fair, the frogs are the ones making it more difficult than it has to be.

Cane toads are an ecosystem destroying highly invasive introduced species.

The crows are doing our work for us. The method might be messy, but cane toads should be exterminated in non-native habitats as expediently as possible.

Instead of feeling bad for them, why don't you feel bad about the species they have almost wiped out?

You can feel bad for the toads and the species they are wiping out. It's not like they are consciously deciding to be an invasive species.

I feel bad for the native species. Cane toads are prolific throughout the world, and they've driven many species to near extinction.

At some point you have to decide what your priorities are and start culling. E.g. Australia wants to kill 2 million feral cats over a decade, as there are 30 million of them, and each one kills 3-20 native animals a day. [0] At some point you have to make decisions and decide which is more important. If you could teach crows how to eat cats, Australia would like to have a word.

I love cats, I have two (both indoor cats, I love Cats but they are furry little killing machines even when well fed) and I still think the plan is reasonable if sad, it's sad for the cats and sad for the indigenous animals that are suffering predation from an invasive very effective predator.

It's OK to kill an animal and feel bad for it at the same time.

For those that aren't aware, here's a good summary of the problems with cane toads in Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_toads_in_Australia

Yeah well, nature. On the flip side, we are (probably) one of the few species to have evolved a sense of existential dread.
