Ok I hate toads period simple because they are ugly and I hate things that leap at you.  Walked out one day last week to find a giant and I mean giant, bufo toad right at my front gate.    These things are so poisonous to cats and dogs that I dread seeing them.  Luckily I can say this is the first time I’ve seen one since we moved to Pasco county.   He was the size of a large softball.
