Croak! Toads Invade Montana Town

POSTED: 7:46 pm CDT August 13, 2005

BIG SANDY, Mont. -- People are stepping carefully these days in Big Sandy, Mont., as thousands of toads the size of quarters are coating the southeast corner of the town. They appeared in the past few weeks. One resident says some lawns in town are so covered with them, it looks like the grass is moving.

Another resident, Breezy Baumgarn, said she feels sorry for the little critters.

"Poor little toads. Everyone keeps running them over. They have nowhere to go," she said.

Streets in Big Sandy are said to be slick from the entrails of the tiny, smashed toads. But not everyone sees them as just a nuisance. A few are collecting toads to sell them to pet stores. Others want to try them out as fish bait.

1. A plague of toads...
Might The Big Guy be trying to tell Montana (a red state) something? ;)

2. Don't go there, benburch! MT elected a DEM governor, passed medical
marijuana intiative and is a pretty 'purple' state!

Toads and frogs are a blessing!
