I wonder whether these giant toads have posed a threat in their native Hawaii. This makes me think of McPhee's The Control of Nature- why is it so difficult for us to acknowledge that we don't always know what's best.
As for the colossal squid, just another indication that our awareness is quite limited. I hate to present a bleak perspective, but it seems that in our effort to control and anthropomorphize we lose a sense of the vastness of life. While the "agressive killer" and "poisonous species" certainly sound ominous, they may also be regarded as elements of a fine balance.
