 Poisonous sausages containing toad meat are being trialled in the Kimberley ( Western Australia ) to try to protect native animals from cane toads ' deadly impact . The Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation has been working with the University of Sydney to develop baits to train native animals not to eat the toads . By blending bits of toad with a nausea @-@ inducing chemical , the baits train the animals to stay away from the amphibians . Researcher David Pearson says trials run in laboratories and in remote parts of the Kimberley region of WA are looking promising , although the baits will not solve the cane toad problem altogether .
