Toadal Annihilation

For decades these poisonous cane toads have plagued Australians, breeding hastily, eating voraciously and bestowing death upon most animals that dare to consume it. Australians solution: Toad-Day-Out, which is to hold a festive mass killing of the creatures and turn their corpses into fertilizer for the same farmers who initially battled the toads for years.

The toads were imported from South America to Queensland in 1935 in a failed attempt to control beetles in sugar cane plantations. However, the toads couldn't jump high enough to eat the beetles who lived on top of the sugar cane stalks. It seems like Australia experienced a complete boomerang effect with this idea. This may seem likely to occur when you mess with the almighty Mother Nature. Now Australia's Toad-Day-Out is in a sense "celebrating" their mistakes with an annual day to exterminate these pests.
