Think of all of those frogs on crutches!

The cruelty of the French!

[dfwgator]

You all came here for this, admit it!

[Sacajaweau]

They beg for annihilationCroak...croak...

[Rio]

I had to see what a fanged river frog looked like:

[nickcarraway]

That’s good eating.

[mo]

so the Froggies in France have no Frog Farms?

[nickcarraway]

I would only eat free range frogs.

[dfwgator]

I only eat crunchy frogs.

[Macho MAGA Man]

That’s a good looking size frog. I love fried frog legs. We go out at night with a spotlight and gig em when season is open.

[Billthedrill]

You think that’s bad, they tear helpless snails out of their little houses and sauté them with garlic butter! Save the snails!!

[nickcarraway]

You can spotlight there? It’s illegal in this state.

[dfwgator]

Save the trees
Save the bees

Save the whales
Save those snails

-George Carlin

[Ezekiel]

estimates state that French diners consume some 4,000 tons of frog legs a year

Is that a tad much? Pole the frogs and they'll tell you to eat more ribbits.

That's sure to cause another victim group to get hoppin' mad.

It's hopless.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Absolutely it’s legal.

(May be harvested using any visible light and mechanical devices known as frog catchers or with devices that puncture the skin (gigs or spears).

Never ate a frog before. I remember dissecting one in 7th grade science class.

Are frogs halal? This problem could resolve itself.
