I don’t think there’d be enough frogs in the wild to fulfil demand.

Yes, there isn’t enough frogs in the wild for it to be sustainable at the scale they’re being hunted. And that’s why scientists raise the alarm about frog populations decline in those places where they are being hunted.

From the same article I linked, still in French, which you can easily machine translate:

“En raison de leur chasse importante, plusieurs espèces et populations connaissent déjà un déclin significatif”, s’inquiètent les experts."

““Due to their heavy hunting, several species and populations are already experiencing a significant decline,” experts worry.”

That’s not what I read. Frog farming is difficult because they must eat live prey. So most of it is imported from places where they don’t bother with farming, or environmental conservation.

From an article in French:

"Problème, pour les scientifiques, ces animaux sont issus “en grande majorité de populations sauvages”, et “en particulier d’Indonésie, de Turquie, d’Albanie et du Vietnam”

"Problematically for scientists, those animals come “in vast majority from wilderness populations” and “particularly from Indonesia, Turkey, Albania and Vietnam”

I have the same experience as well. Never met anyone eating or offering frogs in my life. When I was a kid, in the first half of the 90’s, I would sometimes see frozen frog legs in supermarkets, but I never saw anyone buying them and they have disappeared from french supermarkets for well over 30 years now. I think it’s only local fairs and festivals and some local restaurants, arguing to keep culinary tradition alive who still serves them, definitely not everyday people. Which is ironic because almost all frogs consumed in France are imported from Indonesia. Poor frogs would be better left alone in their rainforest :(

Looks more like an armored pug to me but nonetheless admirable craftsmanship

Between this and the video from inside the coffee shop showing the goon running away with the victim’s gun get startled and turn his head towards the shooter at the first shot, I don’t know how people imagined this was because of the accidental discharge of the goon who took the victim’s gun.

And even if it were, the guy was on his knees, peppersprayed just seconds ago, getting hit in the face with a pepperspray can, with both arms restrained when he got shot in the back for fuck sake.

In the longer version of this video you can see ICE goons crouched over his body going through his pockets and ripping open his shirt. I read a statement from some ICE goon saying they gave him chest compression on site. Which obviously won’t do anything after magdumping into someone’s back.

That horse’s not mad, she’s just disappointed.

What a fool.

I appreciate that you mean well, but apologies on behalf of America are just empty, worthless words. I know I have no use for it and can’t imagine who would.

I have nothing against you personally, and the fact that you’re not a Republican ghoul is already a lot to ask in today’s Trump’s America, but the rest of the world is well past caring about Americans futilely commenting about their sense of shame on the Internet.

Wow. I’m gonna start using the phrase «on a scale from zero to Maria Corina Machado regifting her Nobel prize, how desperate and useless are you right now?»
